Market cap (billions): $39.4
P/E ratio*: 8
Earnings growth**: 14%
Dividend yield: 2.4%
Philips Electronics has streamlined its divisions to focus on its most lucrative products: lighting, medical devices and consumer electronics. That should improve the Dutch manufacturer's margins.
The world's largest lighting company and the third-largest consumer-electronics maker generates only about one-third of its business from the United States. It has a strong presence in emerging markets. Philips, which is actively buying back stock, has increased its dividend every year for the past five years.
