Why this score

How the score is made up
Part of the scorePointsWhy
Yield Dividends per year as a share of today's price. Very high yields count for less: they often signal trouble. 12.0 / 25
  • Yield of 2.9% on today's price
Dividend safety Can the company keep paying? The dividend against free cash flow and earnings, plus debt and interest cover. 24.0 / 25
  • Dividend uses 40% of free cash flow (3-year average)
Dividend growth How many years in a row the dividend has risen, and how fast. 13.2 / 15
  • Dividend up 9 years in a row, 6.9% a year
Quality Return on equity, net margin and how stable the margins are. 14.7 / 15
  • ROE of 146%
Valuation Free cash flow yield and the P/E against its sector. 10.0 / 10
  • P/E 15.4 against 25.6 for its sector
Analysts How far the analysts' average target is from today's price. 2.4 / 5
  • Analysts' target is +5% from the price
  • Total debt has risen three years in a row

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 6 points off.

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