COPT Defense Properties has strong momentum M76 and quality exactly at Q60 with a buyback, but value at V38 is below the calibrated floor, and insiders sold, so stage one fails.

ABOUT COPT DEFENSE PROPERTIES
Read
COPT Defense Properties is a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in the ownership, management, development, and acquisition of office and data center properties primarily leased to the U.S. government and defense contractors. The company benefits from a unique competitive moat derived from its focus on high-security, mission-critical facilities, which ensures long-term, stable rental income from creditworthy tenants. This specialized niche creates significant barriers to entry and contributes to predictable cash flows.

Calmer than 94% of stocks we rank over the past year (18% a year).
How this is worked out
What it measures: day-to-day price moves over the past year, as a yearly figure, ranked against every stock we cover. Very calm under 20% a year, Calm 20 to 30%, Average 30 to 40%, Bumpy 40 to 55%, Very bumpy above that.
What we found: across about 13,500 stocks in 34 markets (2002 to 2025), past swings were a good guide to the next year's, and bumpier stocks fell further. How much further changed too much between eras to put a number on it.
Calm is not safe: a calm stock can still slide steadily.
