The Quality Score for APTV stands at 4.4 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts Aptiv PLC in the mixed quality band. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. It rolls Aptiv PLC’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Set against 179 Consumer Discretionary companies, Aptiv PLC lands at the 35th percentile, in the lower half of the group, above the bottom quarter. The median across the group is 5.0, and the top quarter begins at 6.1, so Aptiv PLC is below the typical company here.
Aptiv PLC’s profitability score is 2.0 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 5.1 among 176 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is well below the group and the 15th percentile. A low reading here is the first thing to explain: it is the pillar most closely tied to whether the business creates value at all.
On solvency, Aptiv PLC scores 4.7, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.9 across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it below them, at the 31st percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.
Growth scores 3.9 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies is 4.0, so Aptiv PLC is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 49th percentile. When growth is this low the question is whether it is a pause or a trend, and the history behind the filings is the place to look.
On efficiency, Aptiv PLC scores 6.6, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it in line with them, at the 62nd percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.
Predictability scores 5.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 178 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.0, so Aptiv PLC is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 67th percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
The gap between Aptiv PLC’s best and worst pillar is wide: efficiency at 6.6 against profitability at 2.0, 4.6 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. Weak profitability can be cyclical, so it helps to know whether margins are at a low point or a long-run level.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is profitability. If it rose to the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, 5.1, Aptiv PLC’s overall score would go from 4.4 to about 5.2. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Aptiv PLC has a reading on every pillar.

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.
