Percentile across ~4,600 US stocks on Ticker Nerd’s systematic factor model. Higher is better. How the model is built and tested
Issuance (88): The share count has been shrinking and the company is not leaning on new borrowing.
Accruals (25): A large share of reported profit has not shown up as cash, or the balance sheet is expanding quickly — both tend to unwind.
Size (18): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.
