For this week’s content analysis we’re providing the structure and results of a custom filter we’ve built. This filter puts an emphasis on three key evaluation areas:
- Generation of shareholder wealth (EVA/Share, Economic Performance Index, return on capital
- Growth (short and mid-term growth of EVA/Share, dividend growth in each of the past four years)
- Free Cash-Flow provision
Only 1.9% (18 of 957) of our Canadian stock universe meets our stated criteria.
The results are sorted by Economic Performance Index (EPI). We’ve included a few other indicators for reference—see share price, Price/Earnings, current 12-month dividend yield.
In the attached Excel document you’ll find both the contents and criteria inputs for the filter, as well as the 18 resulting companies which passed these criteria.
