What’s driving the score
100 is the best score. The small percentage shows how much each factor counts. Hover a factor name for what it means. “n/a” means that factor doesn’t apply to this type of company (banks and REITs work differently), so the other factors count more.
The bottom line

The strongest parts of the picture are debt load, years since last cut, dividend growth (1y). The main things holding the score back are yield vs its own history (scoring 80 out of 100) and earnings payout (89 out of 100). Today's yield compared with the stock's own 5-year normal. Far above normal usually means a falling price or a payout the company can't keep up.
Graco currently yields 1.5%, has gone at least 20 years without cutting its dividend, pays out 29% of its free cash flow as dividends. The score updates weekly as new filings and prices come in.
