I introduced five picks that are often mentioned when analysts talk about potential takeover targets by the guru investor from Omaha.
Today I will continue this stock idea spinning by showing you additional companies that fulfill the following criteria:
- Market Capitalization from $15 Billion to $40 Billion
- Capital Expenditures / Net Fixed Assets under 10%
- 5-Year Average Growth in ROIC in Highest 50%
- P/E Ratio Below Average Company Value in Home Market
- Return on Common Equity over 10%
- Excludes Banks, Brokerages, Asset Managers, Technology, Biotechnology Companies
There are a few stocks available on the market that fulfill these restrictions. Some of those stocks are still in his latest portfolio but there are also many fresh ideas as you might have seen in the first part of this article serial.
