Why this score
| Part of the score | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|

|
| Dividend safety Can the company keep paying? The dividend against free cash flow and earnings, plus debt and interest cover. | 19.6 / 25 |
|
| Dividend growth How many years in a row the dividend has risen, and how fast. | 7.5 / 15 |
|
| Quality Return on equity, net margin and how stable the margins are. | 8.1 / 15 |
|
| Valuation Free cash flow yield and the P/E against its sector. | 4.1 / 10 |
|
| Analysts How far the analysts' average target is from today's price. | 3.7 / 5 |
|
