The Five
| Company | Ticker | Avg Score | Values Scored | Top Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hydropath Technology | HTWS.LSE | +29 | 7 | Multiple at +30 |
| Federal Agricultural Mortgage | AGM.US | +28 | 5 | Fair Money: +70 |
| Moleculin Biotech | MLEC.US | +26 | 5 | Multiple at +30 |
| Paragon Therapeutics | PTGX.US | +24 | 5 | Multiple at +25 |
| Allertec | EAD.XETRA | +16 | 5 | Multiple at +20 |
What Do They Have in Common?
They are small. None are household names. None are in the S&P 500 or the FTSE 100.
Federal Agricultural Mortgage (Farmer Mac) provides financing to rural America. Hydropath Technology makes water treatment systems. Moleculin is a biotech developing cancer therapies. Paragon Therapeutics works in drug discovery. Allertec manufactures medical devices in Germany.
These are specialist companies with focused missions and limited exposure to the supply chain, environmental, and labour controversies that drag larger companies into negative territory.
What This Tells Us
Genuine ethical performance across multiple dimensions is extraordinarily rare at scale. The larger a company gets, the more values it touches -- and the more likely it is to score negative on at least one.
Even the best-performing large companies have gaps. Visa averages +16 but still scores -20 on three values. Cisco averages +12 but is not clean across the board.
The 85-to-1 ratio between all-negative and all-positive companies is the clearest signal in our data: the default state of corporate ethical performance is negative.
