5 Companies that Look Attractive in March 2012

live (public) 1.31% April 26

We continue to look for ideas to help build long term selections for retirement. The majority of ETFs are indexed so there is no selection and we use that as a benchmark to compare with stock selections. By and large the dividend bearing ETF portfolios do pretty well so it is a good comparison.

Today we pick up on an aricle by Morgan Housel of the Motley Fool presents five attractive companies based on the Enterprise/Unlevered Free Cash Flow ratio.

We have covered this before but a brief recap:

  • Enterprise value market capitalization (share price x shares outstanding) plus total debt and minority interests, minus cash
  • Unlevered cash flow< with interest paid on outstanding debt added back in

The ratio of these two statistics provides a valuation metric that takes into consideration allproviders of capital -- both stockholders and bondholders as focusing on profits and equity alone can be misleading.

Using this metric, here are five companies that Morgan found attractive.

Oracle (ORCL) 11.2 15.7
Microsoft (MSFT) 11.1 14.4

UnitedHealth (UNH) 10.0 10.6
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) 8.8 15.0

This is a list of well known names but probably too focused on tech and health. In any case, it will be interesting to measure against our dividend bearing ETF portfolio:
