Credit Suisse has updated its list of the best-of-the-best stocks to own.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and UnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH) make the grade.
Credit Suisse Product Manager Andrew St. Pierre defines the "Top of the Crop" stocks as the "highest conviction combined with the least demanding market expectations."
The "Top of the Crop" criteria are:

"Highest conviction Outperform ideas where CS analysts' estimates and target prices are above consensus and consensus is not overly bullish."
Credit Suisse's HOLT is a model aiming for objectivity in converting income and balance sheet information into cash flow return on investment. "Outperform ideas with least demanding market expectations. Market-implied CFROI is below forecast CFROI and historical median."

The other high conviction Outperform stocks are Flex (FLEX), FedEx (FDX), Goldman Sachs (GS) and T-Mobile (TMUS).
The other top HOLT stocks are Crown Holdings (CCK), Dover (DOV), HCA Healthcare (HCA), PowerSchool (PWSC) and Visa (V).
Credit Suisse also listed two Underperform ideas: Western Union (WU) and Robert Half (RHI).
