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.

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?
Current rankings and full comparative context. The Public Archive lets you explore historical rankings through the public cutoff. Membership continues those rankings through recent years and today, with complete current Score Views, current Tenure, Portfolio, and member features.
Why does the public Archive stop five years behind today?
Holder Dashboard keeps a rolling five-year gap between the public Archive and current rankings. This keeps decades of historical rankings openly available while reserving recent and current ranking context for members.
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.
How often is current data updated?
Market prices are updated daily after market close. Fundamental data updates as companies report, typically quarterly.
Which markets and exchanges are covered?
Holder Dashboard covers common stocks listed on US exchanges, primarily the NYSE and Nasdaq. Fundamentals are normalized to USD for cross-company ranking comparisons.
What does the founding price include?
Founding members pay $99/year instead of $149, locked in while the subscription stays active. The offer ends August 31, 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 saves about 34% compared with paying monthly.
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.
