Why This Score

THFF scores 56.4 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 24.3%, indicating pricing power and operational efficiency.
  • Attractively valued at 10.0x earnings, below the market average.
  • Low volatility (5.6% annualized) — well-suited for risk-averse portfolios.
  • Positive but moderate momentum (35%) — steady appreciation without overheating.
Risk Factors
  • Liquidity concern: Limited trading volume or float results in a 15-point penalty for execution risk.

Net penalties of -15.0 points significantly impact the ranking. Without these adjustments, THFF would rank considerably higher.
