The Quality Score for BURL stands at 5.0 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts Burlington Stores Inc. 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 Burlington Stores Inc.’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Set against 179 Consumer Discretionary companies, Burlington Stores Inc. lands at the 51st percentile, in the better half of its peers. The median across the group is 5.0, and the top quarter begins at 6.1, so Burlington Stores Inc. is in line with the typical company here.
Profitability scores 6.7 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.1, so Burlington Stores Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 67th percentile. Middling returns are common and not a flaw in themselves, though they leave less slack when costs rise or demand softens.
Solvency has no score for Burlington Stores Inc. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median solvency score across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.9. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
Burlington Stores Inc.’s growth score is 4.3 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.0 among 149 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is in line with the group and the 55th percentile. A middling growth reading is typical of a mature company whose next step depends on reinvestment rather than on its market growing for it.
On efficiency, Burlington Stores Inc. scores 3.8, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it well below them, at the 20th percentile. A low efficiency score is worth reading alongside profitability: earnings that do not convert into cash are worth less than they look.
Burlington Stores Inc.’s predictability score is 4.6 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.0 among 178 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is in line with the group and the 38th percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
Profitability at 6.7 is Burlington Stores Inc.’s best pillar and efficiency at 3.8 its weakest. The 2.9 point gap between them is worth keeping in mind when reading the overall. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. Weak efficiency can reflect a heavy investment phase, which only pays off if the investment earns a return.
Closing the gap on efficiency would do the most for the overall. At the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, 6.2, Burlington Stores Inc. would score about 5.5 instead of 5.0. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 80 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).
