Growth Investing / 成长投资

Growth investing is the investment method separated by [[WuWeizhi|吴伟志]] in A股的春夏秋冬：种树、种粮、种菜 from both Value Investing and Trend Following. In the source, a true growth investment is not merely a hot theme; it is a company-level thesis about expanding EPS, market space, share gain, business model quality, and management execution.

The episode links growth investing to the “tree” side of [[ASharePlantingCompanyTaxonomy|种树、种粮、种菜]]. Tree-like companies can produce high upside, but Wu says they have lower hit rates and larger volatility, especially in A-shares where genuinely excellent growth companies are rare. That makes [[MAPERInvestmentResearchFramework|MAPER]] and Position Sizing central rather than optional.

The source also draws a boundary between growth investing and growth-theme trading. A growth stock bought through company fundamentals and a buyout-like ownership standard differs from a crowded AI-themed trade where the right response may be liquidity control, bounded exposure, and selling into strength.

Key Claims

  • Growth investing seeks sustained business growth, not just a high-growth industry label.
  • EPS growth and valuation multiple interact; a growing company can still become a bad investment if the entry price already discounts too much.
  • The investor must identify the industry’s key success factors before treating a company as a growth candidate.
  • Growth drawdowns need diagnosis: company deterioration, valuation compression, and market-wide risk require different responses.
  • In Wu’s A-share frame, growth investing can be rewarding but fragile because strong long-duration growth companies are a small minority.
