Factor Interactions
Value + Quality Intersection
Top-tier on both cheapness (87th) and quality (77th) — the O'Shaughnessy sweet spot, historically the strongest long-term combination.

Shareholder yield 6.0% backed by 14.7% FCF yield. Returns are well-funded.
Leveraged Returns
Strong ROE (16%) boosted by high leverage (D/E 2.9). Returns look good but come with balance sheet risk.
Volatility Expanding
60-day vol (62%) significantly exceeds 252-day (26%). Near-term risk is elevated.
