Screener Overview

Screener purpose

The Cannibals screener is designed to find companies that not only maintain strong financial health but also engage in substantial share buybacks, making it particularly appealing to value-oriented investors. This screener assists investors in identifying businesses that are financially robust and actively reduce their share count, potentially increasing the value of remaining shares.

The Cannibals screener meticulously filters stocks based on a comprehensive set of financial criteria, emphasizing return on equity (ROE), share buyback ratios, and free cash flow (FCF) growth rates. Additionally, it focuses on companies with reasonable PEG ratios and market capitalizations above $100 million, ensuring they are established and financially sound. This screener excludes OTC stocks, preferred stocks, and companies with multiple share classes in one region to maintain a focus on straightforward, high-quality equity investments. Metrics like the Piotroski F-Score further refine the selection process to identify stable, high-quality companies that engage in significant share repurchases.

The Cannibals screener aligns with a "Value and Shareholder Yield Investing" style. It combines the principles of value investing, emphasizing financial health and profitability, with a focus on shareholder yield through significant share buybacks to ensure that selected stocks are suitable for long-term value-oriented investment.
