Factor Analysis Summary

Editorial assessment generated from Caledonia Investments PLC's live factor scores and sector positioning.

Based on Strategyland's proprietary 7-factor analysis, Caledonia Investments PLC (CLDN.L) currently holds an overall rank of #36 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 solvency (Altman Z-Score 116.6), where it demonstrates a robust solvency position with conservative leverage and strong balance sheet coverage; valuation (P/E 15.0, dividend yield 2.8%), where it demonstrates compelling valuation metrics, trading at a discount to peer averages on key multiples; and profitability (ROE 4.6%, net margin 81.7%), where it demonstrates strong profitability metrics, ranking in the top quartile for earnings quality and return on capital.

Areas requiring attention include asset efficiency, where poor capital efficiency suggests assets may be underutilised or overvalued on the balance sheet, as well as market trading, where market trading signals are inconclusive and add little to the investment case.

Within the Financials sector, Caledonia Investments PLC sits at composite rank #36, trailing the Financials peer average (rank 8). It ranks behind all 6 tracked Financials peers in our model.

Ranking in the top quartile overall, Caledonia Investments PLC offers a favourable balance of fundamentals, though investors should weigh its solvency advantage against asset efficiency — its relatively weakest factor.

Strongest Factors

Solvency — Rank 15/280 (top quartile)
Valuation — Rank 51/280 (top quartile)
Profitability — Rank 61/280 (top quartile)

Weakest Factors

Asset Efficiency — Rank 279/280 (below average)
Market Trading — Rank 165/280 (middle of the pack)

Methodology Note

The analysis presented for Caledonia Investments 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.
