Essentially, we are willing to tolerate a bit less profitability if the risk is lower or if the valuation is attractive. While we may not find the most profitable U.S. companies, we believe they will have other interesting characteristics that totally compensate for the slightly lower profitability.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"c-article-body__subheading-v2 c-article-body__subheading-v2--regular c-article-body__subheading-v2--level4\"><b>THE SCREEN <\/b><b><strong>(access and save it on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/account.inovestor.com\/InoAdvisor\/en-CA\/ScreenersDeepLinking?dataset=StockPointer&#038;screener=share%3A%7B%22name%22%3A%22Number%20Cruncher%202021-04-19%22%2C%22sortedBy%22%3A%22evapi12%22%2C%22sortOrder%22%3A%22desc%22%2C%22criterias%22%3A%7B%22PRCcur%22%3A%7B%7D%2C%22evamvecur%22%3A%7B%22%3E%22%3A10000%7D%2C%22marketidentificationcodeextended%22%3A%7B%22in%22%3A%5B%22XNYS%22%2C%22XNAS%22%5D%7D%2C%22evapi12%22%3A%7B%22%3E%22%3A2%7D%2C%22pitmvcur%22%3A%7B%22%3E%22%3A0.6%7D%2C%22eva12CHQ%22%3A%7B%22%3E%22%3A0%7D%2C%22rocAVG5Y%22%3A%7B%7D%2C%22sale12CHY%22%3A%7B%22%3E%22%3A2%7D%2C%22evaROBC12%22%3A%7B%7D%7D%7D\">Inovestor for Advisors platform<\/a>)<\/strong><\/b><\/h4>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text\">We screened U.S. stocks focusing on the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"c-article-body__ul\">\n<li class=\"c-article-body__li\">Market capitalization higher than US$10-billion;<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-article-body__li\">EPI of two or higher \u2013 this is the return on capital divided by the cost of capital;<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-article-body__li\">Relative EPI of 0.6 or higher \u2013 this ratio uses the return on capital adjusted for its market capitalization divided by the cost of capital;<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-article-body__li\">Positive three-month percentage change in the economic value-added (EVA) metric.

The cleaning products company saw share price gains \u2013 and extraordinary profitability \u2013 in the early stages of the pandemic, but the stock has fallen about 20 per cent since the end of July and trades at around the same price as a year ago. Similarly to other well-established U.S. companies such as Johnson &#038; Johnson, Procter &#038; Gamble Co. and Colgate-Palmolive Co., Clorox offers a strong consumer brand that has yielded consistent results in the past that are hard to ignore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text\"><strong>Progressive Corp.,<\/strong> one of the biggest auto insurance companies in the U.S., has the second-highest EPI, at 4.4, and the second-highest relative EPI, at 1.2. This latter metric reflects a high return on capital of 38.8 per cent and a reasonable valuation based on its low P\/E multiple of 10.2. The five-year maximum drawdown of only 22.3 per cent \u2013 the lowest on our list \u2013 suggests a resilient company. Moreover, Progressive has the highest three-month EVA change, at 98.2 per cent, and the highest five-year return on capital \u2013 25.3 per cent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text\"><strong>AutoZone Inc.<\/strong>, an auto parts retailer and distributor, ranks third on our list, with an EPI of 3.7, and solid profitability with a five-year mean return on capital of 25.1. Automobiles could very well be the next discretionary spending of choice for consumers, for three reasons: First, consumer savings are still well above prepandemic level, suggesting there is room for big purchases. Secondly, some discretionary car maintenance may have been delayed because of teleworking. Finally, the main alternatives for large discretionary spending related to the economy\u2019s reopening, such as air travel, still seem less appealing in the near term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text\">Investors are advised to do further research before investing in any of the companies listed in the accompanying table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text\">For more details about these stocks, subscribe to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inovestor.com\/en-CA\/store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-preview-tip-disabled=\"true\">Inovestor for Advisors platform for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text\"><i>Anthony M\u00e9nard is an investment analyst at Inovestor Asset Management.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text\"><i>Be smart with your money.
