S&P500 - Healthcare Stock Screener

Picking Winners in Healthcare: S&P 500 Stock Screener

The main goal

When investing in stocks, the most important question is how to choose the right targets. There are various methods to accomplish this, but I prefer to do it objectively and accurately while keeping it simple. To decide which companies to analyze in-depth, I employ a ranking system. I only compute rankings for the companies that are a part of the S&P500 index. From this list, I narrow it down to companies that have a wide moat rating from Morningstar. These are the companies that have a sustainable competitive advantage over the long term.

Scoring system

The Super Stocks Score is like a grade that is the average score of five different factors. You can see it above the EVA Radar. Companies in the S&P500 are ranked on a scale of 0-100 for each of the five categories based on how well they do. The company with the highest Super Stocks Score is considered the best in the market because of its performance, growth, and future potential. Check out the Glossary to learn more about it.

EVA, or economic value added, measures a company's economic profit. To calculate it, you subtract the capital charge from the company's net operating profit after tax (NOPAT). The capital charge is the cost of giving investors a fair and competitive return on their investment.

EVA Momentum represents the pace of EVA production, EVA Margin represents the ratio of EVA produced to sales, and Sales Growth Rate (SGR) represents year-over-year sales growth. These three factors objectively show the company's profitability in the S&P 500 market.

NOPAT Multiple shows the ratio of NOPAT to the generated market value, and Future Growth Reliance (FGR) shows the future expectation incorporated in the share price. These two factors objectively show the company's perception of the overall market now and in the future.
