this is basically (skewed) as a Berkshire (A class) , NVR ( They are a conservative Homebuilding/Real Estate Company) screen. Those 2 are the longest running stocks without a split

The OP screen {HighPrice2024a} has a Berkshire bias, but this does not explain the recent outperformance. Berkshire outperformed the market until 2002, but only matched market performance after 2002. {HighPrice2024a} could be modified to drop the highest priced stock, but I prefer to keep BRK-A in the screen going forward.

Some screens benefit from dropping the top pick. For example:
Mega-Cap Screen "Notice how the Top-1 pick appears to be a significant under-performer."

NVR's price went above $200 in 2001, and NVR greatly outperformed the market since, with a CAGR of 19% from 20010725 to 20240725. {HighPrice2024a} CAGR was 17% over these 23 years, and so NVR boosted the screen's performance but was not the only winner in the screen. Dropping the top 2 highest prices, {HighPrice2024a_drop2} CAGR was 16. SPY CAGR was 9%.
