Hi all. As suggested by some other SSI members, I have started this monthly stock screening thread. Every month, I will screen some SGX listed stocks, and post some of the cheapest stocks I find here.

In order to meet my criteria, they have to be significantly undervalued on at least one of the following metrics: 1) Enterprise value to Ebitda 2) Price to Earnings 3) Price to Book. I personally put an emphasis on Enterprise value to Ebitda. If you have some other ratio you prefer, you can do a stock screening yourself, post them here, and it may be interesting to discuss and compare.

I'd also like to mention that the ratios are estimates I obtained manually from the financial statements provided by Wall street journal. They may differ from the values you obtained from you favorite platform.

Finally, the list below is not a stock recommendation. They are just stocks that happen to have cheap ratios according to a simple screening process. If you like to stock pick, as many of us here do, you can maybe use these as a starting point for further investment ideas. Always remember, cheap stocks can always get cheaper.

By manually I meant that I wrote some code to scrape the data and calculate the ratios from the individual financial statements rather than just use the ratios provided by WSJ. It doesn't mean I use calculator lol.

Hi all,

The following is the result of a stock screen for March. If you had followed last month's thread, PEC, Yangzijiang, Sunningdale all performed well over the past month. Sunningdale especially, made a 25% gain. On the other hand, we have stinkers like Japfa which fell 20%. Overall, however, the portfolio for the February Stock screen is a net positive. So I hope some of you were able to spot the gems and made a good profit. If you know how to further screen the list to avoid stinkers please send me a message :).


The following is the result of a stock screen for March. After some consideration, I swapped Ebitda for Ebit. As usual, all figures are my own estimates, and I place a higher priority on EV/Ebit than other factors.

dont know much about japfa but it appears that dividend is low, and so is dividend payout %. This just hint that company doesn't really care about OPMI.

Well, I only posted the results of my screening, which just looks at factors relative to other companies. This is not a stock recommendation thread. Just a stock screening thread that screens certain factors so maybe you have a higher chance of finding interesting companies and potential investments. So if you look at the EV/Ebit or the PE, then yes, it is cheaper than most other companies if you just look at their Ebit or earnings relative to their price.
