How this is calculated

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

Profitability (25%) — 5yr Avg ROA, Operating Margin Trend
Capital Efficiency (20%) — 5yr Avg ROTCE, 5yr Share-Count CAGR
Growth Quality (10%) — 5yr BVPS CAGR, 5yr EPS CAGR, Positive-EPS Years (5)
Cash Generation (5%) — 5yr OCF/NI
Balance Sheet (30%) — Equity / 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.
