Stocks with Long Term PowerRatings from 1 to 6 appear on our most requested screen today. These community popular stocks span the gamut from internet retailers to Business service companies.
High rated stocks have proven to outperform their low rated brethren by a statistically relevant factor. In fact, 9 rated stocks have been proven, via significant testing, to possess a 79.1% chance of being higher one year later. Those with a 10 rating have proven to have an 81% chance of closing higher one year later.
On the other hand, those with a low rating have shown to be simply too volatile, thus risky for the prudent long term investor. These low rated stocks can and do experience extreme price moves that potentially can work for or against you, however the fact remains that this type of volatility is simply too risky for long term investment.
Let's take a closer look at a sampling of the Long Term PowerRating communities most requested stocks.
Amazon (AMZN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) - This internet retailing/book selling giant has the second lowest Long Term PowerRating on the favorite's screener with a 2 ranking. Amazingly, in this economy, the company posted fantastic sales increase of 31%, attributed to innovative marketing methods such as free shipping. However, technically the stock has been in a severe downtrend. Caution should be used when considering this stock based on fundamental growth alone. It looks like a good one for your watch list here, however!
Cintas (CTAS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) - A business services company that supplies uniforms, mats, mops and various other products to businesses. They earned a 4 Long Term PowerRating and just announced 1st quarter fiscal results of 5% increase in revenue. The company has a solid balance sheet and is in a nearly recession proof business. Technically, price has just pulled off of a bounce with support appearing at the $20.00/share area.
Procter & Gamble (PG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) - This giant company is the number one ranked stock on the most requested screener with a 6 Long Term PowerRating. They just announced a fiscal 1st quarter increase of 9% in sales and 12% for EPS. In addition, the Folgers coffee brand was just merged with Smucker's who is a member of the S&P 400 index. Technically, the 200-day simple moving average stopped the recent price advance cold and support now looks to be around the $57.00/share range.
