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.	9.3 / 25	Yield of 2.2% on today's price
Dividend safety Can the company keep paying? The dividend against free cash flow and earnings, plus debt and interest cover.	14.4 / 25	Dividend uses 32% of free cash flow (3-year average)
Dividend growth How many years in a row the dividend has risen, and how fast.	15.0 / 15	Dividend up 13 years in a row, 13.9% a year
Quality Return on equity, net margin and how stable the margins are.	8.1 / 15	ROE of 14%
Valuation Free cash flow yield and the P/E against its sector.	5.0 / 10	P/E 38.6 against 20.2 for its sector
Analysts How far the analysts' average target is from today's price.	1.4 / 5	Analysts' target is -2% from the price

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