Stock Picks – 52 Week Low Screen: 2-24-2016

52 Week Low

The only place I am finding value right now is in Healthcare – see Sanofi below as an example.  Pulled the trigger on another attempt to procure Merck before its March 2016 dividend – will publish the details later today.

Here are the weekly results from this screen:

Ticker Price Fair Value Margin of Safety Yield %
SNY $38.14 $54.00 $15.86 4.2%

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.
