Don't remind me again today

Peter Lynch's legendary P/E/Growth screening model just flagged **MAXIMUS INC (MMS)** with a 91% buy signal - up from 0%. Here's what triggered it:



MMS is a mid-cap government services play (runs health & welfare programs for US federal/state agencies). The model lit up because:
- PEG ratio: ✓ passes (reasonable valuation vs growth)
- EPS trend: ✓ passes
- Debt/equity: ✓ solid balance sheet
- Free cash flow: neutral
- Net cash: neutral

A 90%+ score means Lynch's algo sees strong edge here. The strategy hunts for reasonably priced growth stocks with fortress balance sheets - MMS checks those boxes.

Quick context: Lynch averaged 29.2% annual returns at Fidelity's Magellan Fund (1977-1990), nearly 2x the S&P 500. His playbook: find boring businesses that idiots can run because "sooner or later, any idiot probably is going to run it." MMS fits that vibe - government contractor, predictable cash flows.

Not investment advice - this is just what the model says today.
