What it's for
The Quality Score comes from looking at seven criteria together. Each one looks at a different side of the company:
- Profitability
- Measures how much profit the company makes from its sales.
- Balance sheet
- Measures the debt load and short-term ability to pay.
- Value–growth–momentum balance
- Summarizes how the stock's value, growth and momentum traits look together.
- Earnings estimate changes
- Shows whether analysts raised or cut profit estimates in recent weeks.
- Valuation
- Compares the price against earnings, sales and book value with its industry.
- Industry strength
- Reflects the overall picture of the company's industry.
- Price momentum
- Measures the strength of recent price moves.
Good to know
- The Quality tab on a stock page shows how each criterion looks, with the stock's strongest and weakest criterion marked.
- No single criterion decides the score — it reflects all seven together.
