Momentum (100): The shares have been drifting up relative to others.

Accruals (43): A large share of reported profit has not shown up as cash, or the balance sheet is expanding quickly — both tend to unwind.

Size (36): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.
