The stocks with a higher GF Score generally generate higher returns than those with lower GF Scores. Therefore, when picking stocks, investors should invest in companies with high GF Scores.

2. Profitability Rank : 8/10
3. Growth Rank : 9/10
4. GF Value Rank : 7/10
5. Momentum Rank : 7/10

Each one of these components is ranked and the ranks also have positive correlation with the long term performances of stocks. The GF score is calculated using the five key aspects of analysis.
