Value (100): 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.

Momentum (51): The shares have been drifting down relative to others.

Size (9): 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 HP, Inc. — and when they’d sell — is the membership.
