Why This Score

PCB scores 55.1 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
  • Attractively valued at 8.7x earnings, below the market average.
  • Low volatility (4.2% annualized) โ€” well-suited for risk-averse portfolios.
  • Positive but moderate momentum (22%) โ€” steady appreciation without overheating.
  • High conviction (86/100) โ€” fundamental and ML signals agree on this stock.
Risk Factors
  • Liquidity concern: Limited trading volume or float results in a 25-point penalty for execution risk.

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