Why this score

|
| Dividend growth How many years in a row the dividend has risen, and how fast. | 6.1 / 15 |
|
| Quality Return on equity, net margin and how stable the margins are. | 3.3 / 15 |
|
| Valuation Free cash flow yield and the P/E against its sector. | 4.9 / 10 |
|
| Analysts How far the analysts' average target is from today's price. | 5.0 / 5 |
|
