The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

PRU has quite low ROE, 6.8% (barchart says 14%), so it should have not made the ROE cut. Using the data from barchart the ROE cutoff is 25.82% at position #240, PRU is #486.

The library VL database has PRU "% Return On Shareholders Equity" = 35% and net cash of $7.5Bn. Can't trust the data.

Still not quite ready to replace some of my BRK with this screen.

Me either. I just know that without a valuation component, and trust in the data source, I just won't be able to stick it out when it inevitably lags for a few years.
