Following up on our previous content analysis from the week of January 26th (SPFilter, Canadian market), we’ll look today at a similar filter covering the U.S. market. Attached below is StockPointer’s pre-built ‘Dividend + High Economic Value’ filter, running on the S&P500 index.
A total of eleven companies conform to the filter’s criteria. Of these eleven companies, five (IRM, USB, MAC, CB, PGR) operate in the Financials sector (six, if including WU), three in Consumer Staples (WMT, GIS, K), and two are in Healthcare (BAX, JNJ).
From this group, Macerich Co (MAC) has generated the highest rate of shareholder wealth creation over the past twelve months, with an EPI of 2.6; it has also provided the highest price appreciation over the previous 3-month (22%) and 12-month (52%) periods.
