Top Stocks Update: July |
|
About once every month I rerun a data model that does a quantitative evaluation of about 1,600 stocks. The model gathers the names, prices, and latest financials, does some calculations, and then generates a power ranking from (for this update) stock #1 to stock #1556. While not perfect, this model is very useful for generating leads into some excellent and potentially under-priced businesses. The 25 stocks are: 1. FreightCar America (ticker: RAIL) 2. NVR 3. Vaalco Energy (EGY) 4. Avatar Holdings (AVTR) 5. Aspreva Pharmaceutical (ASPV) 6. Nucor (NUE) 7. US Physical Therapy (USPH) 8. Grey Wolf (GW) 9. Patterson-UTI (PTEN) 10. American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) 11. Frontier Oil (FTO) 12. AMREP (AXR) 13. ExxonMobil (XOM) 14. Marathon Oil (MRO) 15. Advance America (AEA) 17. Tesoro (TSO) 18. Steel Dynamics (STLD) 19. Select Comfort (SCSS) 20. EZCorp (EZPW) 21. Ceradyne (CRDN) 22. AmSurg (AMSG) 23. Todco (THE) 24. Lam Research (LRCX) 25. Accenture (ACN)
The next several days will see a major update being done to the site. Commentary on some of the aforementioned stocks is forthcoming, as is a new full-length stock report featuring one of the above twenty-five. Additionally, performance numbers for our past “Top 25” updates will be refreshed and released as part of our ongoing experiment to determine if a quantitative value-based model can pick a portfolio that will outperform the market.
Along with those updates, we plan to expand on two of our prior pieces on refinery valuations and a Peak Oil book review to give a potential picture of what kind of operating environment oil refiners and related businesses could see in the next five to ten years. That piece will be intertwined with my reading of Matthew Simmons’ Twilight in the Desert, and hopefully will be opposed by a rather notorious oil bear who I hope to line up as a guest writer. Stay tuned. |
