Valuation
Is a company cheap for what you actually get?
18 ratios ranked against the sector
The Maz Rating: one number between 1 and 5, built from the bottom up — about eighty ratios, each ranked against the company’s own sector, rolled into five factors and then into the rating. These are the screens that rank on it, and what moved at the last scoring run.
Each factor is a group of ratios asking one question about the company. A factor score combines the ranks of its ratios, weighted by how much each one has mattered for that sector; the Maz Rating combines the five. Each factor also has a screen of its own in the table next door.

A ratio the data cannot fill is left out rather than scored zero, so a thinly reported company is ranked on fewer ratios than a well covered one. A few ratios are also switched off where they mean nothing — enterprise-value multiples for banks, for instance.
The screens on this page read the same ratings as the company pages: there is one Maz Rating per company, not a quicker version for screening. A company the last scoring run could not rank has no rating, and drops out of any screen on one.
