High-ROE stocks (20% or more)

ROE (return on equity) measures how much profit a company generates for every dollar its shareholders have put in. An ROE sustained above 20% usually betrays a business with some hard-to-copy advantage: a brand, a network, a cost base rivals can't match. These are the companies in our coverage clearing that bar today.

An honest warning: ROE can also be “inflated” by shrinking the equity base — for instance with massive share buybacks funded with debt. That's why the table also shows debt: a stratospheric ROE with heavy debt deserves a second look, not automatic applause.

Filter criteria: ROE ≥ 20% and quality score ≥ 50 (to exclude fragile businesses with one lucky year).
