In order to identify such stocks, “Capital” searched the “50 stocks for life” for the eighth time. Together with the stock expert Christian Röhl, “Capital” evaluated 1800 stocks in the worldwide Stoxx Global. The stock index contains the 600 largest companies in North America, Europe and Asia in terms of market capitalization.
Only companies whose business models promise growth and are crisis-proof made it into the top list of “Capital”. The criteria were a strong dividend that has not been cut or canceled in the past 25 years and a solid balance sheet. However, investors should not pay too much for the high quality, which is why the valuation of the share was also decisive.
Among the top companies, US companies stand out in particular, but also some European ones. Many of these companies come from industry, as well as from the health and consumer sectors and the financial sector – such as the food companies Unilever or Kellogg, chip manufacturer Intel or the pharmaceutical company Johnson
