Percentile across ~4,600 US stocks on Ticker Nerd’s systematic factor model. Higher is better. How the model is built and tested
Quality (98): The business earns solid, repeatable profits on what it owns.
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.
