Top 5 High ROE Stocks to Buy as Fed Tapering Looms Large

The U.S. equity markets continued to witness intense volatility over the past few days due to fiscal uncertainty, rising commodity prices, and high inflationary pressures. Concerns over the debt ceiling, which was temporarily raised to cover the federal expenses till early December, remain a potent challenge for the Congress.

The stock market rally was also perhaps fueled by the mixed quarterly performance by hitherto reported companies despite some solid results by the technology sector. With the Fed’s tapering decision looming next week, a broader view of the future economic growth is likely to be revealed.   

As investors employ a wait-and-see approach in a classic example of “backing and filling” in the market, they can benefit from ‘cash cow’ stocks that garner higher returns. However, identifying cash-rich stocks alone does not make for a solid investment proposition unless it is backed by attractive efficiency ratios like return on equity (ROE). A high ROE ensures that the company is reinvesting cash at a high rate of return.

Why ROE?

ROE = Net Income/Shareholders’ Equity

ROE helps investors distinguish profit-generating companies from profit burners and is useful in determining the financial health of a company. In other words, this financial metric enables investors to identify companies that diligently deploy cash for higher returns.

Moreover, ROE is often used to compare the profitability of a company with other firms in the industry — the higher, the better. It measures how well a company is multiplying its profits without investing new equity capital and portrays management’s efficiency in rewarding shareholders with attractive risk-adjusted returns.
