Stored Quality research reads 50 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.
Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.
