Just wanted to share a little test I'm using as benchmark:
I selected by screener the biggest 10 companies by Market Cap with these parameters:
- ROIC > 15%
- Net debt / EBITDA LTM <3x
- Total return 5Y >100% (20% CAGR)
- PE NTM <40x
- Analysts Estimated EPS Forwards 5Y CAGR >12%
Equal weighted buying in January 2nd 2024
Results:
$UNH (-2%) (I removed this because the PE LTM was too close to 40)
$BKNG (-2.79%) (I removed this one total return 5Y was too close to 100%)
$KLAC (-6.34%) (added the next one to replace the removed one)
$HCA (-3.68%) (same)
I know that in January the screener results maybe wouldn't be these, and that most companies are the easy ones, but... 30% returns YTD, without using the 10 best performance of the SP500 YTD ($NVDA (-7.25%) , $VST (-8.8%) , $SMCI , $HWM (-10.39%) , $CEG , $TRGP (-10.07%) , $LLY (-7.56%) , $IRM (-6.35%) , $NRG (-9.08%) , $GDDY (-8.26%) and no crypto,)
If I reached half of it every year, I will be very proud of myself.
Hope it helps
