Passing Buffett's screen
Every company across SageRanks's 22 indices, tested against Buffett's hard limits — live, date-stamped, alphabetical. A screen, not a ranking, and not advice.
Warren Buffett pays up for quality — but not infinitely, and never for businesses without pricing power. This page applies his two hard limits to every company SageRanks tracks and lists the ones that clear both right now.
The hard limits
P/B < 3.0Buffett tolerates more than Graham, but above 3× book the market has already priced in substantial future success — no room for error.
Gross margin > 15%Durable moats show up as high gross margins. Below 15% the business competes on cost, not advantage.
These are the floor, not the strategy: Buffett's real filter — durable moats, honest management, businesses he understands — cannot be screened numerically. A company on this list has passed his measurable minimums, nothing more.
