What is CTO Realty Growth, Inc.'s AlphaQuality grade?

How this is calculated

AlphaQuality grades six pillars from 0-100 and weights each by archetype:

Profitability (20%) — FFO Margin
Capital Efficiency (15%) — 5yr Avg ROE, 5yr Share-Count CAGR
Growth Quality (15%) — 5yr FFO/Share CAGR, Positive-FFO Years (5)
Cash Generation (15%) — AFFO Dividend Coverage, 5yr FCF/NI
Balance Sheet (25%) — Debt / Assets, Interest Coverage (EBIT/Int)
Stability (10%) — EPS Volatility (σ/μ), Piotroski F-Score, Negative-Revenue Years (5)

We deliberately ignore stock price, analyst targets, and consensus ratings so the grade is suitable for backtesting forward returns. A minimum of 5 fiscal years of audited statements is required; distressed and highly leveraged infrastructure businesses are declared ungradable rather than forced into a numeric score.
