Issuance (99): The share count has been shrinking and the company is not leaning on new borrowing.

Value (50): The shares cost a lot relative to the profits and assets behind them.

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 Johnson Controls International Plc — and when they’d sell — is the membership.
