Growth (87): Sales and profits are climbing, and climbing faster than before.

Quality (18): Profits are thin or unreliable for the size of the business, or they are not turning into cash.

Size (1): 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 Chevron Corp. — and when they’d sell — is the membership.
