Top scores
Companies that pass at least 22 of the 30 checks behind the StockData Score.
The score adds up six checks in each of valuation, growth, past performance, financial health and dividends. A total of 22 or more means a company does well on nearly everything at once, which is rare. The checks are mechanical and backward-looking; read the details before acting on any of them.
