Percentile across ~4,600 US stocks on Ticker Nerd’s systematic factor model. Higher is better. How the model is built and tested
Value (92): 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.
Growth (32): Sales and profits are flat, shrinking, or growing more slowly than they were.
Size (3): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.
