GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Ken Fisher Buys AAPL, PEP, BHP, HD, Sells APC, EMC, SBUX
October 23, 2012
Ken Fisher just reported his third quarter portfolio. He has bought into many new positions, and his largest purchases are with Apple Inc., Pepsico, Inc., Bhp Billiton Limited (adr), The Home Depot, Inc., etc. In his recent Forbes Columns, Ken Fisher wrote that he is now concentrate on โ€œstocks larger than the global marketsโ€™ $80 billion average market capitalization. There are now only 70 such megacaps.โ€ Why? โ€œBecause skeptics who were originally resistant to owning stocks finally get up the courage to dip their toes in.

Coca-Colaโ€™s Secret Weapon
July 27, 2012
While the American beverage industry started off the year with a bust of energy and profound bullishness, it is currently not seeing its best of days. All the same, not everyone seems to be taking the fall. In this article, I intend to reveal Coca-Cola (KO)'s secret weapon (though I believe it is more of an overlooked aspect than it is a secret); this is the weapon that will give it the edge against its belligerent competitors and create new prospects amid mounting uncertainty.

Screening for the Most Predictable Companies with Highest Dividend Growth
July 17, 2012
- Screening For The Most Predictable Companies With Highest Dividend Growth
GuruFocusโ€™ All-in-One Screener just got updated. It now has 120 filters to pinpoint the stocks you want. For instance, the screener can narrow down the universe of companies to predictable businesses with the highest rates of dividend growth. If under the Fundamental tab Predictability is set to 5, and under the Dividends tab Dividend Growth Rate is set to 15%, 15 companies that match these criteria appear below. Predictable companies are more likely to keep and grow their dividend, which makes them appealing for income investors who want to sustain a stream of stable income. As of today, the S&P 500 dividend yield is 2.01%, and has only been higher three times since 1997. Read more...
