High-quality pullbacks

Strong businesses where price weakness may exceed the fundamental change.

Not every drawdown is an opportunity. This screener looks for names with durable returns and clean balance sheets where the recent drawdown is not matched by an equivalent weakening in fundamentals.

METHOD

How this screen is built

Return on capital employed above 15% for at least 5 of the last 7 years
Net debt / EBITDA below 1.5x on the latest reported figures
Drawdown from 52-week high greater than 15%
Forward earnings estimate change smaller than 8% over the same window

HANDLE WITH CARE

What this screen does not tell you

Quality does not prevent further drawdowns; sequence and position sizing still matter.
Estimate changes lag. The absence of a cut is not the same as evidence the story is intact.

Where the evidence lives

Long-view horizon on each stock page
Historic return on capital and free cash-flow chart
Peer comparison to check whether the drawdown is company-specific or sector-wide

SAMPLE FILTERS

What the query looks like

ROCE ≥ 15%

Durable operating economics rather than a cyclical peak.

Drawdown ≥ 15%

Meaningful correction from recent highs — not just a wobble.

Estimate cut ≤ 8%

The stock is down more than the underlying earnings picture.
