Within the sector

free to read

Rank 1 of 12 in the industry. Median of total points in this industry: 10.5 of 20, across 12 graded companies. The grades are absolute and are not normalised to the sector: in a weak industry a weak grade stays weak.

The neighbours follow from the ranking alone, not from a judgement. More total points does not mean a company is the better investment, only that more quality rules are met. It says nothing about the price.
