That definition of "good company" is close to being just a tautology. It isn't useful to investors or business managers.

Are there any consistent patterns which allow us to reliably predict which good companies will contine being good longer term?

What's your definition of a good company? If people could reliably predict which companies are and will remain good then they will be very rich. Most of us can only know in hindsight for the most part. This is why virtually no one picking individual stocks beat the S&P 500 index over the long run.
