What Would Change This View

Upgrade to Strong Buy
Requires a committee score of 75.0 — +12.31 from today. Applies on the first day at or above the line; upgrades are never dampened.
Downgrade to Watch
Requires the score to fall below 55.0 — -7.69 from today. The band boundary is 60.0, but a one-step downgrade must clear a further margin first. A score oscillating around the line should not change the rating every night.

Executive Summary

The primary driver is roe of 17.4% shows genuine earnings power backing the valuation. Most analysts agree, and no major concerns are blocking a stronger rating.
