Value (98): The shares cost little relative to the profits and assets behind them — which can mean the market is too gloomy, or that the business really is in trouble.

Growth (31): Sales and profits are flat, shrinking, or growing more slowly than they were.

Size (29): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.
