Independent estimate · assessed October 10, 2026. All 100 research stocks use the same rules. Each component is rounded to one decimal before summing; equal totals share a rank. These scores are not Nanalyze’s published Q-scores. Full method
Supplemental issuer and market research; reviewed 2026-10-10; financial periods vary by input.
Market cap, forward yield, payout ratio and six-year calendar-payment growth streak: Stock Analysis snapshot October 9, 2026. The calendar streak is affected by the switch from semiannual to quarterly payments; it differs from fiscal-year increase counts.
Growth uses annualized regular declared dividend rates: $6.84 (September 2026), $3.88 (September 2021), $2.42 (September 2016). It is rate CAGR, not total-return CAGR.
International-sales proxy: 100% minus the 45% US revenue share in the FY2025 annual report; this measures geographic diversification outside the US, not outside Irish domicile.
