I look to ROE, Current Ratio, Debt/Equity and earning per share growth. Roe>15%, Current Ratio >1, Debt/Equity<1 and eps growth>12 or 15%
After this check, I look to the valuation. I use the last 5 years EPS growth to forecast the EPS of the next 5 years, I suppose the P/E= 5 years EPS growth (in a value approach, it is the PEG ratio and when this is <=1 a stock is undervalued), and so I see what is the total return I can get.
To use this approach, it's very important the stability of EPS growth because I use it to forecast the earnings of the future. I use a personal indicator based to standard deviation to study the earning stability.
Of course, the industry is the first thing I look to.
Thank you very much for that information.
