The Quality Score for AME stands at 7.5 out of 10 as of October 18, 2026, which puts AMETEK Inc in the high quality band. Businesses in this band tend to combine good returns with a sound balance sheet, even if one pillar lags the others. It rolls AMETEK Inc’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Ranked with the 270 Industrials companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 92nd percentile, among the top tenth of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.6, and the best quarter starts from 6.5. AMETEK Inc is well above that typical reading.
On profitability, AMETEK Inc scores 7.0, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 262 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 78th percentile. High profitability means each unit of capital and of sales is turning into more profit than at most of its peers, which is usually the first sign of pricing power or a cost advantage.
On solvency, AMETEK Inc scores 9.1, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 7.1 across 241 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 82nd percentile. Balance sheet strength like this rarely makes headlines, but it is what lets a company keep investing when credit gets expensive.
On growth, AMETEK Inc scores 6.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.4 across 216 Industrials companies, which places it above them, at the 59th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
AMETEK Inc’s efficiency score is 6.2 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.2 among 264 Industrials companies, that is in line with the group and the 48th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.
AMETEK Inc’s predictability score is 8.9 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 5.0 among 267 Industrials companies, that is well above the group and the 99th percentile. A strong predictability score rewards consistency: revenue and earnings that rarely surprise in either direction.
Solvency at 9.1 is AMETEK Inc’s best pillar and growth at 6.0 its weakest. The 3.1 point gap between them is worth keeping in mind when reading the overall. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
AMETEK Inc has no pillar below the median of Industrials companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 7.3 rather than 7.5. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and AMETEK Inc has a reading on every pillar.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
