Methodology

The Composite Quality Score aggregates 8 independent analytical dimensions into a single 0-100 metric. Each component is normalized to a 0-100 scale and combined using a weighted average. Components with no available data are excluded, and the remaining weights are proportionally adjusted.

ComponentWeightSourceScoring Approach
Governance (GRS)20%Governance Risk Scores v2Board independence, meeting attendance, skills diversity, committee structure. Higher indicates stronger governance practices.
Insider Conviction15%Director Share TransactionsRatio of director buying vs selling by transaction count and value. Net buying suggests management confidence.
Dividend Safety15%Financial MetricsPayout ratio sustainability (optimal 30-70%), dividend cover adequacy, and yield assessment. Non-dividend payers receive null.

Valuation10%Financial MetricsP/E ratio relative to sector median (lower may suggest value) combined with return on equity. Does not constitute a valuation opinion.

Rating Scale: Excellent (80-100), Good (60-79), Average (40-59), Below Average (20-39), Poor (0-19).

Data Coverage: Companies require at least 3 of 8 components to receive a score. Missing components are excluded and weights redistribute proportionally.

Limitations: Scores are based on quantitative data and disclosed methodology. They do not capture qualitative factors such as management quality, competitive position, or market conditions. Different weighting schemes would produce different rankings.

Update Frequency: Scores recalculate on each page load using latest available data from underlying tables.

Data sourced from publicly available NZX filings and annual reports. Our datasets may not be complete. Automated analysis can produce errors. Scores are calculated using disclosed methodology and are analytical tools, not investment ratings or recommendations. If you believe any data on this page is incorrect, please contact us at hello@nzxplorer.co.nz. For informational purposes only. Not investment advice.
