Why This Score

STAA scores 27.9 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.

Risk Factors
  • Liquidity concern: Limited trading volume or float results in a 2-point penalty for execution risk.
  • Above-average volatility (17.3%) may not suit conservative risk tolerance.

Minor adjustments (-2.0 points) applied. STAA's rank of #1132 primarily reflects its factor profile relative to the conservative weight vector.
