Hypothetical Finance Question (Time Machine)

Let's say you have the ability to go into the future and learn about one thing related a company, in order to invest TODAY in that company, what would that one thing be?

Just curious to see what people value here. Cheers.

How much it is worth in 20 years... 

Just kidding. I'm not entirely sure what info is allowed to be found out about and what info I don't know (ex. it doesn't matter how much Open AI innovates if I don't know what other AI companies are doing at the same time.) I suppose I would like to see how margins shift, so I will say that I'd like to see the change in profit margin over time. Public Opinion of a company would also be a pretty positive indicator if I could learn about consumer sentiment in 20 years.
