The RDSB stockrank seems to have fallen off a cliff from 90 to 51. The fundamentals don't seem to have changed from the last few months when the rank was 90 or above. Any ideas why that change occurred?
All of the constituent QV and M scores are down since the comparable Stock report since the start of January, but it is the Q score in particular that has dropped by about 30 points from 73 to 40. Jan 5th Stockopedia report here:-

May be tied up with the results announcement from last week that included a fair few adjustments following last year's BG acquisition that might have tripped a few key elements of the Q algorithm. Results release posted here.

Alternatively may be just a rogue data point that has slipped through and created ripples in the pond. It happens from time to time but usually gets spotted and backed out. So far as I know Royal Dutch Shell (LON:RDSB) is still pretty much the same dividend belching behemoth it was a few weeks ago.
Best,
Gus.
