Transparent factor breakdown
Official framework Why the Q-score estimate is 20.5
Each rank compares this stock with the 20 stocks in the Nanalyze collection.
Market capitalization4.9
#4 of 20Mega-cap scale. Larger companies receive more credit for stability and diversified cash flows.
Dividend yield1.6
#8 of 20Useful yield. The published framework penalizes yields below 1.5% and limits the benefit of unusually high yield.
Payout ratio2.0
#18 of 20Moderate payout buffer. A lower payout leaves more room to keep raising the dividend during a weak year.
International sales4.5
#1 of 20Broad global sales. Geographically diverse revenue reduces dependence on one economy.
5-year dividend growth1.3
#18 of 20Modest growth. Recent dividend growth above 5% receives credit; slow growth is penalized.
10-year dividend growth0.9
#18 of 20Modest growth. Ten-year dividend growth above 4% receives credit for sustained progress.
