Value (93): 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.

Revisions (55): Analysts have, on balance, been cutting their forecasts.

Size (14): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.
