The presented below thirteen names from the Basic Materials sector were selected with a couple of criteria:
- Piotroski F-Score (TTM) > 6 (this measures the overall health of a company)
- Altman Z-Score (TTM) > 1.8 (1.8 is a threshold below which a stock is believed to have 80% chances of bankruptcy within two years)
- Mean analysts rating is > 4.0; in the ratings, 1 stands for Strong Sell and 5 means Strong Buy recommendation
- The number of analysts that assessed the stock > 4
Presented is also the short ratio (Short %), which indicates the number of shares that investors sell short over the average daily volume of the stock.
Each numeric parameter is marked with a color: towards green if considered to be advantageous and towards red if below expectations.
See some other screens from the investing-scientist, e.g.:
