Stock Picks – 52 Week Low Screen: 12-30-2015

52 Week Low

Here are the weekly results from this screen:

Name Ticker Price Fair Value Margin of Safety Yield % MOS %
Gap Inc GPS $25.27 $45.00 $19.73 3.6% 44%

Only the Gap meets my criteria.  I have been waiting for it to fall below $24.00 per share, before I pull the trigger – will be tracking this closely.  Not my favorite store – but retail is beaten down, and I feel there is a large Margin of Safety with this pick.

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.
