A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S

Growth is a weak point here: a business that's turning around. Both revenue and earnings growth are weak. This profile does not fit growth strategies, so look to value or quality angles instead. The one thing to watch: revenue has shrunk over the past 3 years.

Short- and long-term returns both rank among the best globally. The market is behind it — a core fit for momentum strategies. The strongest point: magnificent long-term results. The one thing to watch: the stock is underperforming over the past month.

A genuinely cheap stock. Forward P/E, EV multiples, and book value all screen attractive versus the market. A textbook fit for pure value and smart-value strategies. The strongest point: today it trades at 13x forward earnings, cheaper than 60% of companies worldwide. The one thing to watch: it trades above its own historical P/E.

A middle-of-the-pack business on quality. Margins, returns and balance sheet sit around the market average. Workable, but not a standout on business quality. The strongest point: it carries net cash rather than net debt, better than 90% of companies worldwide. The one thing to watch: returns on capital are weak.
