Dividend growth How many years in a row the dividend has risen, and how fast.	0.0 / 15	Dividend growth of -6.0% a year
Quality Return on equity, net margin and how stable the margins are.	5.1 / 15	ROE of 6%
Valuation Free cash flow yield and the P/E against its sector.	9.8 / 10	P/E 15.0 against 20.4 for its sector
Analysts How far the analysts' average target is from today's price.	1.8 / 5 No figures for this part: it counts as a cautious 35%.	—
