Issuance (100): The share count has been shrinking and the company is not leaning on new borrowing.

Accruals (32): A large share of reported profit has not shown up as cash, or the balance sheet is expanding quickly — both tend to unwind.

Size (21): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.

The rank is the raw material. Whether the rules would actually own Boyd Gaming Corp. — and when they’d sell — is the membership.
