- FCF / Net Income (>=90%) — Earnings to cash conversion — best names exceed 95%.
- Dividend growth 10y (>=6%/year) — Dividend Aristocrats raise 25+ years — moat signal.
- Payout Ratio (<75%) — >80% = dividend at risk. <60% comfortable.
- Net Debt / EBITDA (<2.5x) — Defensive with high debt loses its essence.
