Alternative Screen: 5 Star Stocks

No picks from my Dividend Millionaire screen – tells me the market is getting seriously frothy at this point.  Better to do nothing – and continue to research candidates to buy during the next correction.

So, again – rather than continuing to present you with my standard screens that are not generating any candidates, I thought I would show you another one of my alternative screens that allows you to review companies that currently sport a 5 star rating from Morningstar.  I add more filters for financial health and cash returns – and exclude Asset Management companies.

Here are the results:

Ticker Price Fair Value Margin of Safety Yield %
BIIB $251.84 400 $148.16 0.0%
ESRX $68.35 100 $31.65 0.0%
GPS $29.59 43 $13.41 3.1%
GILD $88.64 128 $39.36 1.5%
AMGN $141.03 194 $52.97 2.4%
PFE $29.59 38 $8.41 3.9%

Except for the Gap, all are Healthcare related.  Also, this list has considerable overlap with some of my other screens – which I take as a positive. When a company is coming up as undervalued by several different matrices – that increases my enthusiasm.  I have also supplied links for you to research each stock further – just click on the ticker.

Results are based on the following screen:

  1. Morningstar Rating = Five Stars       
  2. Financial Health Grade >= B
  3. Cash Return % >= 5
  4. Stock Industry not = Asset Management

z - even even smaller
