14 Dividend Paying Stocks With Low P/E's And High Returns On Invested Capital

I built a screen that I would like to share that acts as a starting point in identifying quality stocks that have great historical returns on invested capital and relatively low current valuations.

Only companies that had a market cap over $1 billion and headquarters located in the U.S. were included.

14 stocks fulfilled my critera.
