2 No-Brainer Healthcare Stocks to Buy Right Now: https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/731155/lab-worker-women-in-stem-science-research.jpg

Return on invested capital (ROIC) may be one of the best metrics to find which stocks will outperform the market. Measuring a company's profitability compared to its debt and equity, a consistently high ROIC indicates a wide moat surrounding a business's operations.

For example, the top 40% of ROICs in the Motley Fool's "investable universe" nearly doubled the returns of their lower-ranked peers since 2003 -- and did even better if their ROICs were rising over time.

Averaging ROICs of 19% and 23% since 2000, respectively, Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) and Mettler-Toledo International (NYSE: MTD) seem to prove this theory to be true.
