Why this score
| 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. | 10.1 / 25 |
|
| Dividend safety Can the company keep paying? The dividend against free cash flow and earnings, plus debt and interest cover. | 3.5 / 25 |
|
| Dividend growth How many years in a row the dividend has risen, and how fast. | 14.9 / 15 |
|
| Quality Return on equity, net margin and how stable the margins are. | 11.6 / 15 |
|
| Valuation Free cash flow yield and the P/E against its sector. | 1.7 / 10 |
|
| Analysts How far the analysts' average target is from today's price. | 0.9 / 5 |
|
- Score capped at 50: the dividend was cut recently
- Heavy debt: net debt is 5.5× EBITDA
- The dividend paid in the last 12 months is lower than in the 12 before
