Growth (89): Sales and profits are climbing, and climbing faster than before.

Accruals (26): A large share of reported profit has not shown up as cash, or the balance sheet is expanding quickly — both tend to unwind.

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