The Kyocera Corporation (KYO) is a Japan-based electronics manufacturer that’s known for its cell phones, digital cameras, and flat-screen TVs. But the company’s real draw is its financials. KYO stands out because it’s the biggest company recession-proof out there by market cap, yet still has a surprisingly low price-to-book ratio of 0.76. The pros agree…. The PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy ETF owns this stock.

Next on the list is TDK Corporation (TDK), another Japanese technology manufacturer. TDK produces recording media like burnable CDs and DVDs. In addition to a low P/E and modest dividend yield, TDK also has the recession-proof attributes we’re looking for.

In keeping with out Pacific-Rim theme, power tool manufacturer Makita (MKTAY) is the next recession-proof play on our list. The company has been using the cash from its coffers to buyback shares: 3,000,000 shares to be precise. Makita’s plump margins only add to this stock’s staying power.

Marvell Technology Group (MRVL) is a Barbados-based semiconductor company. MRVL is no slouch when it comes to their balance sheet… the company has enough cash on hand to extinguish all of its debt today. It’s also a pro favorite that can be found in the portfolios of Maverick Capital and seven others.

Last but not least is Littelfuse (LFUS), a small-cap that makes fuses for electronic devices and cars. In addition to being debt-free LFUS saw earnings rocket 55% last year, making it an attractive play on all sides.
