S&P's New "Buy 'Em Like Buffett" Stock Screen

AP Apple makes iPhones but this time around it doesn't make the list of stocks that fit some of Warren Buffett's investment criteria, as compiled by Standard and Poor's in its twice-yearly stock screen. |
Howard Silverblatt of Standard & Poor's Equity Research writes that the screen looks for:
- Free cash flow of at least $250 million
- Net profit margin of at least 15%
- At least 15% return on equity in the previous quarter and in each of the past three years
- Dollar's worth of retained earnings creating at a dollar of shareholder value of previous five years
- Market value at or above $500 million
- Projected cash flow per share above current stock price over next five years
The S&P screen results carry a very important reminder: "These are not stocks that Buffett has purchased or announced plans to purchase. They are simply stocks that meet the criteria that Buffett has emphasized in the past."
The new list is shorter than February's screen results. Among the stocks that didn't make the cut this time around: Apple .. which didn't seem like a Buffett-style stock to begin with given his tech aversion. Microsoft and Oracle, however, remain.
Here are the other stocks that also made the list:
