Alternative Screen: 5 Star Stocks

Finance Troll: Our sales have dropped to zero in retail stores that have self-checkout. Apparently the people who are dumb enough to want our product are too dumb to know how to use the self-checkout. On a positive note, we have the most shoplifted product of the year. Boss: Yes!

Maybe this is why retail is having such a bad time – I know I am getting sick of all the self check out lines.

There are two retail stocks from today’s screen – both with attractive Margins of Safety:

Ticker Price Fair Value Margin of Safety Yield %
BBBY $44.45 70 $25.55 0.0%
BAYRY $95.57 139 $43.43 3.0%
GILD $85.72 124 $38.28 2.0%
WSM $52.68 76 $23.32 2.7%
AMGN $156.34 194 $37.66 2.3%

I have been researching Williams-Sonoma – and like what I have discovered about the financials to date – but would like to see the stock a little cheaper before I consider pulling the trigger.

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
