Why This Score

SHBI scores 71.6 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 11.1x earnings, below the market average.
  • Positive but moderate momentum (35%) โ€” steady appreciation without overheating.
  • High conviction (92/100) โ€” 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.

Moderate penalties (-5.0 points) reflect identified risk factors. The overall score balances these against the stock's fundamental strengths.

Value trap warning: This stock scores in the top quartile for value trap risk.

The ML model's sector-relative features (trained on 30 years of data) reduce this stock's score accordingly.
