Stock Picks – 52 Week Low Screen: 1-20-2016

52 Week Low

Think this list will grow after the carnage today.  My Merck trade is looking bad, or at least early – not in a hurry to add equity exposure until the market finds a bottom.

Here are the weekly results from this screen:

Name Ticker Price Fair Value Margin of Safety Yield %
Gap Inc GPS $22.00 $43.00 $21.00 4.1%
Emerson Electric Co EMR $42.02 $62.00 $19.98 4.4%
Eaton Corp PLC ETN $46.82 $65.00 $18.18 4.6%
Dover Corp DOV $51.72 $70.00 $18.28 3.1%
Cisco Systems Inc CSCO $22.89 $27.00 $4.11 3.5%

Note: I increased the Dividend Yield Requirement to >= 3%.

Based on the following screen:

  1. Morningstar analysis available.
  2. Less than 5% above its 52 week low.
  3. Greater than or equal to Narrow moat.
  4. Free cash flow/enterprise value greater than 5% (should be above what the 10 Year Treasury Bond is yielding).
  5. Financial Health Grade >= B.
  6. Forward P/E <= 20.
  7. Stock Industry not = Asset Management
  8. Dividend Yield % >= 3
  9. For candidates that have passed all the filters, review the individual stocks Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) for the previous 10 years to select the best long term candidates.
