Dividend Analytical Data: In this section there are three possible Stars and three key metrics, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:

CB earned three Stars in this section for 1.), 2.) and 3.) above. A Star was earned since the Free Cash Flow payout ratio was less than 60% and there were no negative Free Cash Flows over the last 10 years. CB earned a Star as a result of its most recent Debt to Total Capital being less than 45%. CB earned a Star for having an acceptable score in at least two of the four Key Metrics measured.
