For Immediate ReleaseChicago, IL – January 30, 2026 – Stocks in this week’s article are Arista Networks, Inc. ANET, Corning Inc. GLW, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. BBVA, The TJX Companies, Inc. TJX and TE Connectivity plc TEL5 Stocks with High ROE to Buy as Markets Bask in Economic StrengthThe broader equity markets shrugged off President Trump’s incessant tariff threats and refused to wilt, trading in record territory over the past few days, primarily driven by a tech rally. Several blue-chip tech firms recorded solid gains buoyed by an encouraging start to the earnings season and massive strides in AI monetization. The uptrend was also buoyed by the Fed’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged at a target range of 3.5% to 3.75%, backed by economic strength and relatively modest job market conditions. With the unemployment rate showing signs of stabilization and inflation remaining at slightly elevated levels, investors expect interest rates to hold fort till May.However, latent tensions related to tariffs remained potent threats to the growth momentum. As investors employ a wait-and-see approach in a classic example of “backing and filling” in the market, they can benefit from “cash cow” stocks that garner higher returns. However, identifying cash-rich stocks alone does not make for a solid investment proposition unless it is backed by attractive efficiency ratios, such as return on equity (ROE). A high ROE ensures that the company is reinvesting cash at a high rate of return. Arista Networks, Inc., Corning Inc., Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., The TJX Companies, Inc.  and TE Connectivity plc are some of the stocks with high ROE to profit from.Why ROE?ROE = Net Income/Shareholders’ EquityROE helps investors distinguish profit-generating companies from profit burners and is useful in determining the financial health of a company. In other words, this financial metric enables investors to identify companies that diligently deploy cash for higher returns.Moreover, ROE is often used to compare the profitability of a company with other firms in the industry; the higher, the better. It measures how well a company is multiplying its profits without investing new equity capital and portrays management’s efficiency in rewarding shareholders with attractive risk-adjusted returns.Here are five of the 17 stocks that qualified the screening:Arista: Santa Clara, CA-based Arista is engaged in providing cloud networking solutions for data centers and cloud computing environments.
