Recently, Bloomberg analyst's made a screen of stocks with some classical Buffett target-criteria:
- Market Capitalization from $20 Billion to $40 Billion
- Capital Expenditures / Net Fixed Assets > 10%
- 5-Year Average Growth in ROIC in Highest 50%
- 5-Year Average Operating Cash Flow Growth in Highest 50%
- P/E Ratio < Average Company Value in Home Market
24 companies worldwide remained of which 14 are U.S. listed. Four of the
results have a yield over three percent and twelve are currently recommended to
buy.
These are my favorite stocks from the results:
