Factor Analysis Summary

Editorial assessment generated from Ninety One PLC's live factor scores and sector positioning.

Based on Strategyland's proprietary 7-factor analysis, Ninety One PLC (N91.L) currently holds an overall rank of #111 out of 280 FTSE 100 constituents, reflecting its weighted composite score across liquidity, valuation, profitability, solvency, asset efficiency, market trading, and technical dimensions.

Its primary strength lies in valuation (P/E 12.0, dividend yield 5.6%), where it demonstrates compelling valuation metrics, trading at a discount to peer averages on key multiples.

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 low relative volume or adverse volatility patterns may deter momentum-oriented investors.

Within the Financials sector, Ninety One PLC sits at composite rank #111, trailing the Financials peer average (rank 8). It ranks behind all 6 tracked Financials peers in our model.

The composite profile is weighed down by 4 below-average factor scores, with asset efficiency (rank 278/280) representing the most significant drag on its #111 overall standing.

Methodology Note

The analysis presented for Ninety One 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.
