List of Very Good Companies With Strong Fundamentals (2016)

Last year when I started blogging about stock investment, I published a post of companies with strong fundamentals.

To be fair, my article did not advocate that one should invest in the companies at the time it was published. My article was only to serve as a watchlist in case prices fell and presented a good buy opportunity. In fact, it was clearly stated that I believe most of these companies were overvalued except for 1.

Nonetheless, here is the results if you have bought the companies on the day the article was published and held on till today:

One thing to note is that all of these companies actually made profit and paid dividends with a yield of between 0.9% to 23.9% based on the price at 03 Feb 2015.

The STI was at 3,408.02 on 03 Feb 2015 and 2,880,17 on 18 Mar 2016, a fall of 15.5%.

As most companies on SGX have financial year ending 31st December, and March is the time of the year when these companies post their audited financial results, I have updated my stock screener and will be sharing my recommendations for 2016.

This year, the following companies are the top 10 companies with strong fundamentals that has been filtered out by my screener.


The companies are first ranked based on their Quality (Return on Invested Capital) and Value (Earnings Before Interest & Tax / Total Enterprise Value).

Next, they are filtered based on the following selection criterion:

1. Fraud Detection with Benish M score of less than -1.78
2. Above average Profitability rate of entire population screened
3. Above average Financial Health rate of entire population screened
4. Gearing (Total Debt / Total Equity) of less than 50%
5. Above average 4P score of entire population screened
6. Above average Financial Strength score of entire population screened
7. Above average Piotrosky F score of entire population screened

Below are the detailed summary of each of the following companies via links to separate posts.
