Tenure counts consecutive annual Archive anchors in which a company held a top-fifty HDB Score place. It measures persistence, not future returns.

An honest backtest
What happened after the rankings?
We tested the obvious idea: take the highest-ranked companies at historical dates and hold them. It mostly lost to simply buying the S&P 500.
Strong business fundamentals and strong investment returns are not the same thing. Valuation matters, leadership changes, and historical rankings are not predictions.
Rankings are useful because they organize comparable evidence and show what changed without rebuilding the research by hand. They narrow the work; they do not replace valuation or decide what to buy.

Frequently asked questions
What can I use for free?
Every Archive year through 2021 is open without an account, including ranking windows, metrics, filters, pagination, company research, and historical Tenure.
What does Membership add?
Membership continues the same research through recent years and today. Compare companies using the newest available rankings, review current Score Views and Tenure, and keep a research shortlist in Portfolio without rebuilding the work in spreadsheets.
Are historical rankings exactly what investors would have seen at the time?
Not exactly. Later fiscal years are excluded, but historical figures come from the data provider’s current dataset and may include later restatements or reclassifications.
Read the methodology and data limitationsDoes a high HDB Score mean I should buy a stock?
No. HDB Score summarizes parts of a company’s historical fundamental record. It does not evaluate valuation, predict future returns, or issue buy and sell recommendations.
What does the founding price include?
Founding members pay $99/year instead of $149, locked in while the subscription stays active. The offer ends September 30, 2026. Cancel anytime, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Is there a monthly plan?
Yes. The monthly plan is $19/month and can be canceled anytime. The annual plan currently saves about 57% compared with twelve monthly payments.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel at any time. If you cancel within 30 days, your payment is refundable.
Independent by design
Built independently. Explore the data yourself.
Holder Dashboard is an independent project built to make long-term fundamental history easier to explore. There is no analyst team choosing favorites and no editorial list of stocks to buy. The methodology is published, the rankings are computed, and you decide what they mean.
