Alternative Screen: Stocks Trading at 75% or Lower to Fair Value

It is very telling that even my Alternative Screens are barely finding any candidates.  I designed these screens to cast a wider net – should my standard screens strike out (usually because of high valuations in the market).

As I stated last week – I would not suggest putting any new money to work at these levels.

Here are the only two candidates from this Alternative Screen:

Ticker Price Fair Value Margin of Safety Yield %
BMRN $88.38 132 $43.62 0.0%
ESRX $68.93 100 $31.07 0.0%

Most of my standard screens have a dividend yield requirement – which is obviously not the case with this screen.  Express Scripts could excite me if it drops a little more – stay tuned.  Click on the links to research further.

Results are based on the following screen:

  1. Price / Fair Value <= 0.75
  2. Economic Moat >= Narrow
  3. Financial Health Grade >= B
  4. Morningstar Rating = Five Stars

With baseball season starting, I found this commentary very funny – I am also a Phillies Fan, so I need a sense of humor:
