Companies that Passed the Graham-Shiller PE10 Ratio Stock Screen in 2002

I recently received a question regarding my Revised Graham-Shiller 10 Year PE Ratio Stock Screen. A reader named Adam posted the following question:

Very cool!…do you have a list of the companies that passed the screen in 2002?

I didn’t have the list of companies that passed the screen in 2002 handy, but I just ran it again using Portfolio123 (affiliate link providing 45-day free trial).  Here are the results of the screen ran on December 31, 2001.  The returns are for 1 year which ended on December 31, 2002.

The criteria used to run this screen are as follows:

  1. Eliminated ADRs (mainly to avoid data issues)
  2. Removed stocks in the miscellaneous financial services sector (to remove funds,  special purpose acquisition companies, and the like)
  3. Current ratio > 1.5
  4. Market cap > $100 million
  5. PE10 > 0
  6. Current PE < 12
  7. Number of annual historical reporting periods > 9
  8. Retain the top 20 stocks sorted by lowest PE10

Now I’m sure the next question will be, what are the current passing companies.  I’ll post the current Graham-Shiller PE10 screen results shortly.

Disclosure: At the time this article was posted, I did not own any of the stocks mentioned.
