Factor Analysis Summary

Editorial assessment generated from Tate & Lyle PLC's live factor scores and sector positioning.

Based on Strategyland's proprietary 7-factor analysis, Tate & Lyle PLC (TATE.L) currently holds an overall rank of #254 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, and technical (RSI 46.7), where it demonstrates positive technical momentum with price action supporting a constructive trend.

Areas requiring attention include profitability (ROE 5.6%, net margin 4.5%), where compressed margins and weak returns on equity weigh on the earnings profile, as well as solvency (debt/equity 0.8), where higher debt levels or weaker coverage ratios raise solvency concerns.

Within the Consumer Non-Cyclicals sector, Tate & Lyle PLC sits at composite rank #254, trailing the Consumer Non-Cyclicals peer average (rank 53). It ranks behind all 6 tracked Consumer Non-Cyclicals peers in our model.

Despite its mid-table composite rank of #254, Tate & Lyle PLC shows selective strength — notably in liquidity and technical — suggesting a stock with identifiable merits alongside clear areas for improvement.

Methodology Note

The analysis presented for Tate & Lyle 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.
