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.	25.0 / 25	Yield of 6.0% on today's price
Dividend safety Can the company keep paying? The dividend against free cash flow and earnings, plus debt and interest cover.	5.9 / 25	Dividend uses 35% of free cash flow (3-year average)
Dividend growth How many years in a row the dividend has risen, and how fast.	5.1 / 15	Dividend growth of 5.4% a year
Quality Return on equity, net margin and how stable the margins are.	4.2 / 15	ROE of 4%
Valuation Free cash flow yield and the P/E against its sector.	8.5 / 10	P/E 19.7 against 20.3 for its sector
Analysts How far the analysts' average target is from today's price.	4.8 / 5	Analysts' target is +19% from the price

Score capped at 55: the dividend is not covered by free cash flow or earnings
The dividend is above the earnings (payout 118%)
The price fell 34% in a year: a yield of 6.0% may be a symptom of that, not a gift

Income profile: it pays a dividend, so it is scored mainly on the dividend and how safe it is. Based on 95% of the figures (grade A). Warnings take 12 points off.

Warnings take points off and some cap the score. In your account the score also considers how the share fits your portfolio.
