How Boyd Gaming Corporation scores

As of October 17, 2026, Boyd Gaming Corporation scores 5.5 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of solid quality. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Boyd Gaming Corporation’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.

Among the 179 Consumer Discretionary companies with a published score, that ranks at the 57th percentile, above the middle of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.0, and the best quarter starts from 6.1. Boyd Gaming Corporation is above that typical reading.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

Profitability scores 7.4 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.1, so Boyd Gaming Corporation is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 76th 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.

Solvency

On solvency, Boyd Gaming Corporation scores 5.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.9 across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it below them, at the 38th percentile. Middling solvency says the balance sheet is neither a strength nor a constraint today.

Growth

Growth scores 4.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies is 4.0, so Boyd Gaming Corporation is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 59th 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.

Efficiency

Boyd Gaming Corporation’s efficiency score is 2.3 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 6.2 among 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is well below the group and the 5th percentile. Weak efficiency means more capital is tied up to produce each unit of output, or less of reported profit is arriving as cash.

Predictability

Predictability scores 6.6 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 178 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.0, so Boyd Gaming Corporation is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 81st percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The gap between Boyd Gaming Corporation’s best and worst pillar is wide: profitability at 7.4 against efficiency at 2.3, 5.1 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. 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.

What would move the score

Closing the gap on efficiency would do the most for the overall. At the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, 6.2, Boyd Gaming Corporation would score about 6.1 instead of 5.5. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Boyd Gaming Corporation has a reading on every pillar.

How this score is calculated

Limitations

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.
