Although quality as a style is “slightly expensive” trading 1 standard deviation above its norm, it has outperformed 80% on a 12-month view and 100% of the time on a six-month view, according to UBS analysts.
These buy-rated stocks are in the 30% top for quality, have positive earnings momentum, are not crowded -- have a crowding data score better than 0.1 -- and have reasonable value without overly high beta.
