Factor Analysis Summary

Editorial assessment generated from Breedon Group PLC's live factor scores and sector positioning.

Based on Strategyland's proprietary 7-factor analysis, Breedon Group PLC (BREE.L) currently holds an overall rank of #100 out of 280 FTSE 100 constituents, reflecting its weighted composite score across liquidity, valuation, profitability, solvency, asset efficiency, market trading, and technical dimensions.

Key strengths include liquidity, where it demonstrates exceptional market liquidity with deep trading volumes that support efficient entry and exit; asset efficiency, where it demonstrates highly efficient capital deployment, converting assets into revenue and returns effectively; and technical (RSI 42.8), where it demonstrates generally favourable technical indicators with price holding above key moving averages.

Areas requiring attention include profitability (ROE 7.1%, net margin 4.7%), where compressed margins and weak returns on equity weigh on the earnings profile, as well as market trading, where low relative volume or adverse volatility patterns may deter momentum-oriented investors.

Within the Basic Materials sector, Breedon Group PLC sits at composite rank #100, trailing the Basic Materials peer average (rank 27). It ranks behind all 6 tracked Basic Materials peers in our model.

Despite its mid-table composite rank of #100, Breedon Group PLC shows selective strength — notably in liquidity and asset efficiency — suggesting a stock with identifiable merits alongside clear areas for improvement.

Methodology Note

The analysis presented for Breedon Group PLC is produced using Strategyland's proprietary 7-factor quantitative model, which evaluates each stock across Liquidity, Valuation, Profitability, Solvency, Asset Efficiency, Market Trading, and Technical dimensions. Individual factor scores and the composite rank reflect relative rankings within the FTSE 100 universe — a lower rank number indicates stronger performance in that category.

Underlying financial and market data is sourced from LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) and processed through our scoring engine. Scores are recalculated as new data becomes available and should be interpreted as a systematic screening output, not a forecast of future share price performance.

This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any security. Past performance and factor rankings are not indicative of future results. Please read our Risk Disclaimer before making any investment decisions.
