10/10/10 Screener
I ran a screener for fun on my Dividends 500 portfolio, trying to find "undeniable" types of stocks for fighting the market's weirdness right now.

A stock needs to have three things to make it into Dividends 500:
  • be an S&P 500 member (mainly to keep the size of the portfolio under control for me)
  • an increasing dividend YoY
  • a payout ratio below 50%

Using this group of roughly 200 stocks, I added another filter for the following:
  • 10%+ revenue growth YoY -- both forward and trailing
  • 10%+ net income and free cash flow (FCF) margin
  • 10%+ return on equity (ROE) and return on invested capital (ROIC)

I chose to use net income margin and FCF margin to avoid getting pencil whipped by stocks boosting FCF through stock-based compensation. If a company's ROE was negative from share buybacks, I looked to ROIC to see if they qualified.

Here is the list of what remained:

It increased my interest in Hershey and Waste Management as steady-Eddie picks as they might be the safest on this list. I also lined up KLAC, ACN, MPWR, MSCI, and FDS for more research, as it feels like I keep seeing their names everywhere.

Did any of these stocks surprise you or stand out in any way?
Would a basket of these 10/10/10 stocks beat the S&P 500 over the next decade?
57%Yes
7%No
35%Maybe, needs one more metric
