Value (82): 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.

Growth (37): Sales and profits are flat, shrinking, or growing more slowly than they were.

Size (3): 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 Freeport-McMoRan, Inc. — and when they’d sell — is the membership.
