Dear Subscriber,
As you evaluate third-quarter earnings, keep an eye on ROE. This indicator will tell you how well, or poorly, the company’s executives are using shareholder capital.
Kevin Matras uses ROE in his screens to help make sure that he is finding quality companies. Rather than just looking for a specific number, he looks for companies with a higher ROE than their peers. Doing so can help you beat the market.
In the Screen of the Week, Kevin shows you a simple way to include ROE and gives you 5 stocks worth looking at.
