Percentile across ~4,600 US stocks on Ticker Nerd’s systematic factor model. Higher is better. How the model is built and tested
Value (88): 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 (20): The shares have been drifting down relative to others.
Size (14): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.
