This week at PowerRatings.net we revisited some names that will be familiar to active investors, as well as a few well known stocks whose high Long Term PowerRatings make them potentially attractive candidates for investments going forward.PowerRatings upgrades began the week as we noticed Long Term PowerRatings moving higher in stocks like Burlington Northern Santa Fe (NYSE:BNI - News) - which we have featured in recent Weekly Outlooks as well as in recent articles for PowerRatings.net - and Edwards Life Sciences (NYSE:EW - News), a stock we introduced last week when the stock was upgraded from a Long Term PowerRating of 7 to a Long Term PowerRating of 8. This week marked another upgrade in EW from an 8 to a 9.
Recall that stocks with Long Term PowerRatings of 9 have been higher one year later, more than 79% of the time in our historical testing. The average stock, by comparison, was higher one year later less than 68% of the time. Not only that, but 9-rated stocks have tended to outperform the average stock after one year, averaging gains of more than 18% compared to average stocks.
