Quality (98): The business earns solid, repeatable profits on what it owns.

Accruals (34): A large share of reported profit has not shown up as cash, or the balance sheet is expanding quickly — both tend to unwind.

Size (19): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.
