Why This Score

CCSI scores 38.9 on the Conservative profile, blending a fundamental score (80% weight, emphasizing quality and stability (84% of fundamental weight)) with a machine-learning signal (20% weight) trained on 82 features across 30 years of data.

Strengths
  • High net margin of 24.2%, indicating pricing power and operational efficiency.
  • Attractively valued at 6.7x earnings, below the market average.
  • Positive but moderate momentum (13%) — steady appreciation without overheating.
  • High conviction (75/100) — fundamental and ML signals agree on this stock.
Risk Factors
  • Liquidity concern: Limited trading volume or float results in a 5-point penalty for execution risk.
  • Above-average volatility (17.8%) may not suit conservative risk tolerance.
  • Elevated leverage (D/E 42.14) increases financial risk in a rising-rate environment.

Moderate penalties (-6.9 points) reflect identified risk factors. The overall score balances these against the stock's fundamental strengths.

YES
Below-sector growth + cheap PE
Value trap warning: This stock scores in the top quartile for value trap risk. The combination of below-sector-median revenue growth, low PE, and high free cash flow yield suggests the market is pricing in stagnation. The ML model's sector-relative features (trained on 30 years of data) reduce this stock's score accordingly.
