How this ranking works

Every consumer defensive company in our US universe is scored on the same transparent quality-growth model — one 0–100 score that blends business quality (margins and returns on capital), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (what you pay for them). The table below ranks them by that score, highest first, and re-scores every trading day. Click any name for the full grade card, price targets, and analysis.
