Screening UK Stocks: Combining quality, momentum and expectations indicators

Report by Willis Welby

Methodology - the initial universe are stocks with $2bn+ M/Cap. After that Willis Welby starts with a quality cut off based on their measure of Intrinsic Return on Capital Employed. They then narrow down using a combination of share price momentum and EBIT revisions before incorporating their expectations analysis via their measure of the implied to Y3 EBITM ratio. This has been another month of low turnover for the UK screen and it is notable that stocks coming in are exclusively in Consumer Services with the return of three retailers (B&M, Pets at Home, WH Smith) and Flutter. The four stocks leaving are Burberry, IAG, Hikma and Serco.
