A score of 50 means class average.

BUSINESS QUALITY
95

WORTH WATCHING

FINALE · THE GRADE
B
56 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, NLY sits in the middle of the class: some subjects shine, others don’t. The grade moves as the numbers move.

The takeaway: NLY is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate here isn’t the price — it’s whether the company can keep up this pace.
