In our last Number Cruncher we discussed how Mueller Industries Inc (MLI), Buckle Inc (BKE) & Sleep Number Corporation (SNBR) were stocks with performance metrics through the roof. Now, we will look at these companies with our software Stockpointer.
Here is the screener we used to find these stocks
Let’s start with MLI
The company has a high score of 78 in our system. The SP score is derived from the performance (84.9) and risk (23.7) score. The company has a quality bias. The company has experienced incredible growth in the last year while having a respectable growth in the last 5 years.
We see that the company increased significantly its performance spread over the last 5 years. The EPI also stands at a healthy 2.6 which means the company generates a return on capital 2.6 times higher than its cost of capital and thus generated value for its shareholders.
let’s continue with BKE
BKE has a solid SP score of 79 fueled by its strong performance (83.6) score and risk score (22.5). Our system evaluates BKE to be an equal weighted stock in terms of factors. The major part of Buckle performance is due to last year. Sales skyrocketed as well as earnings which gave positive long-term and short-term results. The earnings per share growth is reasonable even if we exclude last year, but below MLI.
We see that NOPAT increased a lot in the last year, but not much previously as explained in the scorecard. However, the EVA graph shows that the company increased its EVA despite low sales growth which is a positive sign.
Finally, SNBR
SNBR has a top-tier SP score of 80 which is based on the performance score of 80.9 while the risk score of 19.8. Our system considers SNBR to be mainly a quality company, but with some volatility and poor yield metrics.
SNBR is a top performing company as seen by the pfscan (much higher than the X line and peers) while trading at a moderate level (close to the Y line).
