Where this stock sits inside Financial Services
ML factor mining and alpha decay tracking
Lasso / elastic-net regression to surface non-canonical factors that augment the Barra-13 baseline (e.g. price-to-revisions skew, options-implied vol slope, alt-data sentiment).
Half-life of factor signals, computed from rolling IC (information coefficient) regressions. Highlights factors whose edge is fading.
Cumulative return of the long top-decile / short bottom-decile portfolio for each factor, with turnover and hit-rate stats.
The composite signal is a sector-conditional weighted sum of 13 factor z-scores (Value, Quality, Profitability, Momentum, Size, Low-Vol, Growth, Yield, Investment, Earnings Quality, Leverage, Liquidity, Sentiment). Raw signals are winsorised at ±3σ before normalisation. Decile assignments use NTILE(10) over both the universe and the symbol's sector.
