Volatility (89): The share price has been relatively steady.

Accruals (36): A large share of reported profit has not shown up as cash, or the balance sheet is expanding quickly — both tend to unwind.

Size (2): 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 Lowe's Companies, Inc. — and when they’d sell — is the membership.

The article notes that 25 Dividend Aristocrats appear undervalued with estimated long-term annualized returns of at least 10%.
