High return on equity, low debt

A high ROE is easy to fake with borrowing. This screen demands the return without the leverage, which is a much shorter list.

This is a screen, a live list of everything that passes the test in the sidebar. For six specific names argued case by case, with the risk stated in the same breath, see the dashboard AI Picks.

Look at the spread, not the ranking. If the bars are all the same length, the screen is arbitrary: one point of return on equity separates a company that made the list from one that did not, and the cut is doing more work than the data supports. A long tail means the top few are genuinely exceptional and the rest merely qualified.

The matches are spread across sectors, which means the screen is selecting on the characteristic it claims to and not accidentally on an industry.

Educational information, not financial advice, and not a recommendation to buy anything. A screen is a place to start reading, never a place to stop.
