How we score every stock
Every public company on Wealthy is graded across six pillars worth 100 points total. We weight the pillars per industry — banks get scored differently from REITs from SaaS — then surface a single 0–100 number you can compare across markets.
Profitability & Returns (22 pts)
Companies that generate consistent, high returns on the capital they put to work — ROE, ROIC, gross/operating margins.
Growth Quality (18 pts)
Top-line, EPS, and FCF compounding. Penalizes "growth at any cost" by demanding consistency.
Financial Health (18 pts)
Balance-sheet stress tests: net debt vs EBITDA, interest coverage, current ratio, Piotroski F-score, debt trend.
Valuation (22 pts)
Margin of safety. Combines our 5 fair-value models, P/E, EV/EBITDA, FCF yield, and the Buffett-style earnings-yield spread.
Capital Allocation (10 pts)
Dividend + buyback yield, payout sanity, ROIC vs WACC. Are managers compounding value or destroying it?
Momentum & Sentiment (10 pts)
Relative strength, EPS revisions, analyst consensus, insider activity, short interest sanity.
