Why This Score

DJCO scores 49.0 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
  • Strong profitability: ROE of 25.6% exceeds the 15% quality threshold.
  • High net margin of 104.2%, indicating pricing power and operational efficiency.
  • Attractively valued at 7.7x earnings, below the market average.
  • Minimal leverage (D/E 0.00) provides financial flexibility and downside protection.
  • Positive but moderate momentum (30%) โ€” steady appreciation without overheating.
Risk Factors
  • Liquidity concern: Limited trading volume or float results in a 25-point penalty for execution risk.
  • Above-average volatility (10.5%) may not suit conservative risk tolerance.

Net penalties of -25.0 points significantly impact the ranking. Without these adjustments, DJCO would rank considerably higher.

Low Tradability Warning

A post-hoc penalty has been applied to the composite score (this is not a backtested model factor โ€” it is a practical tradability overlay).
