methodologies:
STARS Stock Reports
Qualitative STARS recommendations are determined and
assigned by equity analysts. For reports containing STARS
recommendations refer to the Glossary section of the report
for detailed methodology and the definition of STARS
rankings.
Quantitative Stock Reports
Quantitative recommendations are determined by ranking a
universe of common stocks based on 5 measures or model
categories: Valuation, Quality, Growth, Street Sentiment, and
Price Momentum. In the U.S., a sixth sub-category for
Financial Health will also be displayed. Percentile scores are
used to compare each company to all other companies in the
same universe for each model category. The five (six) model
category scores are then weighted and rolled up into a single
percentile ranking for that company. For reports containing

STARS Stock Reports and Quantitative Stock Reports
The methodologies used in STARS Stock Reports and
Quantitative Stock Reports (collectively, the "Research
Reports") reflect different criteria, assumptions and analytical
methods and may have differing recommendations. The
methodologies and data used to generate the different types
of Research Reports are believed by the author and
distributor reasonable and appropriate. Generally, CFRA
does not generate reports with different ranking
methodologies for the same issuer. However, in the event that
different methodologies or data are used on the analysis of an
issuer, the methodologies may lead to different views or
recommendations on the issuer, which may at times result in
contradicting assessments of an issuer. CFRA reserves the
right to alter, replace or vary models, methodologies or
assumptions from time to time and without notice to clients.
Analyst Certification
STARS Stock Reports are prepared by the equity research
analysts of CFRA and its affiliates and subsidiaries. All of
the views expressed in STARS Stock Reports accurately
reflect the research analyst's personal views regarding any
and all of the subject securities or issuers. Analysts generally
update stock reports at least four times each year. No part of
analyst, CFRA, or its affiliates or subsidiaries compensation
was, is, or will be directly or indirectly related to the specific
recommendations or views expressed in a STARS Stock
Report.
