How the ranking is built

Each company is scored from 0 to 10 on five pillars built from its reported financial statements, weighted out of 100: profitability (25), solvency (20), growth (20), efficiency (15) and predictability (20). The overall score is the weighted average of the pillars that could be scored. A company is ranked only when pillars carrying at least 75 of the 100 weight points are scored, so every overall in the table rests on most of the model.

A quality score describes the business, not the price. A company can rank first here and still be expensive, and this ranking is not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
