Why this score

How the score is made up
Part of the scorePointsWhy
Yield Dividends per year as a share of today's price. Very high yields count for less: they often signal trouble. 9.7 / 25
  • Yield of 2.3% on today's price
Dividend safety Can the company keep paying? The dividend against free cash flow and earnings, plus debt and interest cover. 8.9 / 25
  • Dividend uses 53% of earnings
Dividend growth How many years in a row the dividend has risen, and how fast. 3.6 / 15
  • Dividend up 4 years in a row, 0.6% a year
Quality Return on equity, net margin and how stable the margins are. 10.4 / 15
  • ROE of 10%
Valuation Free cash flow yield and the P/E against its sector. 2.2 / 10
  • P/E 23.6 against 19.7 for its sector
Analysts How far the analysts' average target is from today's price. 2.9 / 5
  • Analysts' target is +7% from the price
  • Score capped at 60: free cash flow was negative in two of the last three years
  • Heavy debt: net debt is 6.0× EBITDA
  • Total debt has risen three years in a row

Income profile: it pays a dividend, so it is scored mainly on the dividend and how safe it is. Based on 95% of the figures (grade A). Warnings take 12 points off.

Warnings take points off and some cap the score. In your account the score also considers how the share fits your portfolio. How the score works
