Stock Picks – 52 Week Low Screen: 11-25-2015

52 Week Low

Only one stock makes the 52 Week Low Screen this week – not surprising given the positive market trend last week:

Name Ticker Price Fair Value Margin of Safety Yield % MOS %
Suburban Propane Partners LP SPH 30.08 39 $8.92 11.7% 22.9%

SPH would be a tough trade – not much liquidity in the options – yield is tempting.  I will be keeping my powder dry for better stocks and entry points – nothing looks cheap this week.

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 % >= 2.5
  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.
