While many individuals and governments have fallen deeply into debt during the pandemic, many companies have strengthened their balance sheets.
Each year (2001-06 and 2011 to the present), I’ve compiled a list of companies that qualify as Balance Sheet Powerhouses. Until now, the largest number of companies that made the list was 42, in 2006. This year, 61 companies made it the honor roll.
I enjoy compiling this list because I believe investors pay slavish attention to every tick in a company’s earnings and not enough attention to a company’s balance sheet (assets versus liabilities).
