High ROE Stocks
The stocks below have a return on equity (ROE) of 15% or more — meaning the business generates at least $15 of profit for every $100 of shareholder equity. Sorted by StockPik's Value Score, which also factors in P/E, P/B, debt levels, and Piotroski F-Score, so high-ROE stocks that are also cheap rise to the top.
ROE measures how efficiently a company uses its equity base to generate profit. Warren Buffett has consistently highlighted ROE as one of the most important indicators of a durable competitive advantage — a business that earns 20%+ on equity year after year typically has pricing power, brand strength, or structural advantages that are hard to replicate.

Why ROE matters for value investors
Return on equity is calculated as net income divided by shareholders' equity. A company with $50M in net income and $250M in equity has an ROE of 20%. What that number tells you is how productively the business is deploying the capital its shareholders have entrusted to it.
Buffett's criterion was straightforward: look for companies that have consistently earned 15% or more on equity over a period of years, without using excessive debt to do it. A high ROE achieved through leverage is far less impressive than one earned on a clean balance sheet — which is why the D/E column above matters. A company with ROE of 25% and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.2 is a very different proposition from one with the same ROE and a debt-to-equity of 3.0.
The Piotroski F-Score column adds a further check: is the business currently improving? An F-Score of 7 or above means the company is passing most of the nine financial health criteria — profitability is holding up, leverage is not rising, and operating efficiency is intact. Combined with high ROE, that is the profile of a business worth spending more time on.
