Why this score

How the score is made up
Part of the score	Points	Why
Yield Dividends per year as a share of today's price. Very high yields count for less: they often signal trouble.	7.5 / 25	Yield of 1.8% on today's price
Dividend safety Can the company keep paying? The dividend against free cash flow and earnings, plus debt and interest cover.	21.2 / 25	Dividend uses 63% of free cash flow (3-year average)
Dividend growth How many years in a row the dividend has risen, and how fast.	12.0 / 15	Dividend up 6 years in a row, 8.2% a year
Quality Return on equity, net margin and how stable the margins are.	11.8 / 15	ROE of 14%
Valuation Free cash flow yield and the P/E against its sector.	1.2 / 10	P/E 33.8 against 23.9 for its sector
Analysts How far the analysts' average target is from today's price.	2.9 / 5	Analysts' target is +7% from the price

Score capped at 55: the dividend is not covered by free cash flow or earnings
