factor.explanation

This factor evaluates the investment attractiveness of a stock by comparing the price-to-earnings growth rate (reflecting growth) with the dividend yield (reflecting profitability). A lower EPGY value indicates that the dividend yield is relatively high given the growth expectations, which means that the stock may be undervalued or have a higher value. This factor helps investors strike a balance between growth and profitability, looking for investment opportunities that have both growth potential and can provide substantial cash returns.
