How is the GAINI UQS Score Calculated?
The UQS (Unified Quality Score) for Gladstone Investment Corporation is calculated using a proprietary 5-pillar framework with 25 financial metrics.

Quality (25%) measures profitability and capital efficiency — ROIC, ROE, margins, GP/Assets, and FCF Yield.
Moat (25%) assesses Gladstone Investment Corporation's competitive advantages across switching costs, network effects, cost advantages, intangible assets, and ecosystem scale.
Growth (20%) tracks revenue trajectory and earnings momentum, combining historical results with analyst forward estimates.
