Europe Quality Stock Screener - Feb. 2025
Explore my Top 51 quality European stocks + their score
I regularly publish screeners to help investors find new ideas. These screeners can be oriented towards quality or organized by theme, country, market cap. For each stock I then use my scoring system to quickly assess its metrics. Please note that this score is primarly designed to identify stocks in my investable universe as I described in my 8-step investment framework article. It is not an investment signal.
In this article, you will explore 51 high-quality European stocks that I have carefully selected, offering valuable insights into their potential, strengths, and weaknesses. This is an excellent resource for uncovering promising investment opportunities.
If you like screeners, you can find my selection of 86 US quality stocks.
The different scores
The screener uses 5 different categories. Each category has different metrics, mainly quantitative. Each metric gives a score depending on thresholds I defined, once again to fit my investment style.
Growth. The growth category uses 4 metrics:
Past and future revenue growth
Past and future EPS growth
Quality. The quality category uses 3 metrics: net profit margin, ROE and cash/debt ratio vs the EBITDA.
Valuation. For valuation, I use 3 metrics: PE, FCF yield and PEG.
Shareholder return. This category shows if the company is shareholder oriented. I look at 3 metrics: dividend yield, dividend growth and buybacks/dilution in outstanding shares.
Market. This is the only qualitative metrics. It represents the value of being present in the market and the company’s strength in it. It is a personal appreciation.
The screener
In this screener, I have selected 51 of the highest-quality companies from Europe, using the latest available data for scoring and ranking. The term 'quality' is not strictly defined here; it may refer to exceptional metrics, a robust business model, market dominance, or a strong competitive advantage.
