Scoring explained
Cash yield needs supporting evidence
Yield and quality · 52%
Cash yield contributes 28% and cash quality 24%. Yield blends free cash flow against enterprise and equity value with earnings yield. Quality tests cash conversion, margins and financial strength.
Durability and debt · 30%
Durability contributes 16% and balance-sheet strength 14%. Growth, margin resilience, borrowing and interest cover test how well the cash profile holds together.
Owners and the market · 18%
Capital allocation contributes 10% and market confirmation 8%. Dividends, repurchases and the price record add context. Active warnings then reduce the final score.
Available components are reweighted when a component is missing. The weighted score is reduced by 0.35 × the risk score, with a minimum final score of zero. Owner yield is a blended research measure; it is not a dividend yield. Rankings are research readings, not forecasts of returns.
