A company with a high return on equity (ROE) efficiently turns its shareholders' investment into profits. The Value Line Investment Survey (1-800-833-0046) has just taken the 100 highest-rated of the 2,000 stocks it follows and then ranked these by average ROE for the past five years.
The top 10, in order: Safeskin Corp. (SFSK), medical gloves; ICN Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ICN); Sofamor Danek Group Inc. (SDG), surgical instruments; Paychex Inc. (PAYX), payroll computing; Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (BBBY), retailer; The Gap Inc. (GPS), retailer; Cambridge Technology Partners Inc. (CATP), software; Tellabs Inc. (TLAB), telecommunications equipment; Graco Inc. (GGG), high-tech pumps; and Dollar General Corp. (DG), retailer. |
