Stock Picks – 52 Week Low Screen: 10-28-2015

52 Week Low

Still only two candidates from this screen – and they keep getting cheaper:

Name Ticker Price Fair Value Margin of Safety Yield % MOS %
Gap Inc GPS $27.08 $45.00 $17.92 3.43 39.82%
Wal-Mart Stores Inc WMT $57.41 $75.00 $17.59 3.39 23.45%

I should take a flyer on one – but I just hate old school retail.

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 % >= 2.5
  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.

z - even even smaller
