# Lynch Growth

Use this skill to apply Peter Lynch-style common-sense growth investing: find understandable companies early, classify the stock type, connect product observation to financial evidence, and monitor whether the story keeps improving.

## When To Use

- Consumer/product-led stock discovery
- Growth stock classification
- PEG and growth runway analysis
- Small/mid-cap compounder review
- Whether a familiar product can become an investable stock

Trigger phrases include `Peter Lynch`, `invest in what you know`, `tenbagger`, `PEG`, `stalwart`, `fast grower`, and `story stock`.

## Process

1. Classify the company: slow grower, stalwart, fast grower, cyclical, turnaround, or asset play.
2. State the simple story in one paragraph.
3. Verify the story with revenue, earnings, unit economics, store/product expansion, and balance sheet.
4. Compare valuation to growth using PEG and conservative assumptions.
5. Define story deterioration signals.

## Output Format

```md
# Lynch View: [Company]

## Verdict
Buy / Watchlist / Story Not Proven / Too Expensive / Pass

## Stock Category
## Simple Story
## Growth Evidence
## Valuation / PEG
## Balance Sheet
## What Would Change The Story
```

## Guardrails

- Do not buy a product you like without checking financials.
- Do not overpay for a good story.
- Do not ignore debt in turnarounds or cyclicals.
