SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed
From the record
SI estimate, not a filed reading: Taylor Devices, Inc.'s shareholder treatment is put at 8.5 of 10 with a confidence of 35 of 100, because read from one part only, the cash returned against operating cash flow, which ranks in the top 15% of 15 in its family; fewer than two of the parts can be read: the share count over the years, and the cash returned against a positive operating cash flow or net income. A filing that carries the missing parts replaces this estimate with the filed reading.
