Quality Factor

The Quality Factor is a style factor that ranks stocks by financial quality, favoring firms with durable profitability, stable earnings, and conservative balance sheets; common metrics include profitability measures such as return on equity (ROE), earnings quality indicators, and debt levels.

Example: In a factor model, a quality ranking places firms with high ROE, low accruals, and moderate debt in the top decile of a quality screen, influencing their weight within a quality-focused subset.
