Stock Picks – 52 Week Low Screen

52 Week Low

No stock has passed this screen since May 18, 2016 – so I was very excited this morning when one stock finally popped onto my monitor.  Not surprisingly – it is a Healthcare Stock, thank Hillary Clinton!

Hopefully we can get a few more sell offs like yesterday – and then put some money to work in this market.

The reason Gilead Sciences, my stock pick in the Healthcare / Pharma space does not make this screen is because it’s dividend does not meet the 3% threshold.

Anyway – here is the one stock to qualify:

Ticker Price Fair Value Margin of Safety Yield %
NVO $39.68 $51.00 $11.32 3.55%

52 Week Low stock picks are 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.
