How have this name's flags scored?

Flag	N	Mean excess vs S&P
Thin gross margin — keeps little of each sales dollar (judge it against its industry).	20	+2.1%

These per-flag figures are observational — a flag firing is not a randomized assignment, so any edge can reflect what kind of names trip a flag, not the flag itself. Descriptive, not causal.

Scope: these are forward returns vs the S&P among names still covered at each horizon's end, within the curated universe — not a survivorship-clean whole-market backtest. Names later dropped from coverage are counted as attrition (not hidden), and single-session moves beyond ±300% are treated as split/data artifacts and excluded.

AI take — daily, AI-generated

AI leans cautious

AGCO is a value trap: minimal growth (1.7%), weak margins (25%), and insider buying can't offset deteriorating fundamentals; the dilution shrink is a minor positive but insufficient.
