Rule #1 Screen Results as of May 12, 2008

As promised, here are the candidates that emerged from my latest Rule #1 screen.

Rule #1 Screen Results 05-12-2008

Company Name Symbol Earnings Yield
First Regional Bancorp FRGB 15.12
Goldman Sachs Group Inc GS 10.64
Frontier Financial Corp FTBK 9.95
Noble Corp NE 8.83
Manitowoc Co MTW 7.44
Westpac Banking WBK 6.87
Oceaneering International OII 5.38
First Service Corp FSV-T 5.23
CVS Caremark Corp CVS 5.00
Aptargroup Inc ATR 4.60
Kirby Corp KEX 4.50
National Research Corp NRCI 3.28
Ritchies Bros Auctioneers Inc RBA-T 2.63

Quite a few financials showed up on this list. Although in my screen I did demand a 1 year growth rate greater than 10% in both Sales and EPS, I did not enforce that it should be higher than the longer term growth rates.

Let’s see how these candidates pan out. We can always tweak the criteria later.

Note that the symbols with the -T are for Canadian companies on the TSE.
