Ten Stocks to Unload

Jim Jubak reports on CNBC's Business Center Wednesday:

DIS's return on invested capital is down to 0.7% for the past 12 months, way below 5.7% average of the last 5 years. The company has problems with sagging advertisements for its ABC-TV network and a slowdown in attendance at its theme parks.
SNE's recent return on invested capital is at 2.3%; average is 5.3% for the past 5 years. There were troubles in the wireless phone business with a major recall. Lack of focus embedded in the company's culture.
GM's business is too cyclical. Too many car manufacturers.
GPS's unpredictable clothing business can wipe out profits. Its capital has fallen to 15% in the past 12 months from a 5-year average of 30%.
KO's faces long term competition, especially from PEP. Its return on capital is still 28% but down from its 5-year average of 35%.
AXP's return on invested capital is down to 11% for the past 12 months from a 5-year average of 14%.
ABT's return on invested capital was 13% from a 5-year average of 31%.
CPQ's return on invested capital was 2.9%. No reason to buy. DELL is the best of the PC companies and then IBM.
F's return on invested capital fell to 1.2% for the past 12 months from a 4.4% 5-year average. Foreign competitors are taking a big bite out of the auto industry.
DAL has averaged a return on invested capital of 14%. But this past 12 months has been 8%. LUV just reported a 13.9% return on invested capital the past 12 months, with a 13% 5-year average.
