The Quality Score for BG stands at 2.9 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts Bunge Ltd in the low quality band. Scores this low usually reflect thin margins, a stretched balance sheet or an erratic record, and the pillars below show which. It rolls Bunge Ltd’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Among the 71 Consumer Staples companies with a published score, that ranks at the 4th percentile, near the foot of the group. The median across the group is 5.8, and the top quarter begins at 6.8, so Bunge Ltd is well below the typical company here.
Bunge Ltd’s profitability score is 1.9 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.7 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is well below the group and the 17th percentile. Weak profitability means the business converts less of its sales and capital into profit than its peers, which can come from thin pricing power, high costs or a temporary squeeze.
Bunge Ltd’s solvency score is 5.1 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.9 among 65 Consumer Staples companies, that is well below the group and the 25th percentile. Middling solvency says the balance sheet is neither a strength nor a constraint today.
On growth, Bunge Ltd scores 2.3, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 67 Consumer Staples companies, which places it well below them, at the 23rd percentile. Weak growth means revenue and earnings have been flat or shrinking against peers, which can be cyclical or a sign of a market that is maturing.
Efficiency scores 3.1 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 68 Consumer Staples companies is 6.7, so Bunge Ltd is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 4th percentile. A low efficiency score is worth reading alongside profitability: earnings that do not convert into cash are worth less than they look.
Bunge Ltd’s predictability score is 2.5 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 6.1 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is well below the group and the 7th percentile. A low predictability score often belongs to cyclical businesses, where good and bad years alternate with the economy or with commodity prices.
Solvency at 5.1 is Bunge Ltd’s best pillar and profitability at 1.9 its weakest. The 3.2 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. Weak profitability can be cyclical, so it helps to know whether margins are at a low point or a long-run level.
Of everything that could lift Bunge Ltd’s score, predictability matters most. Bringing it up to the 6.1 median of Consumer Staples companies would take the overall from 2.9 to roughly 3.6. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Bunge Ltd 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.
