Among the 179 Consumer Discretionary companies with a published score, that ranks at the 79th percentile, inside the top quarter of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.0, and the best quarter starts from 6.1. Casey's General Stores, Inc. is above that typical reading.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, Casey's General Stores, Inc. scores 5.1, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.1 across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it in line with them, at the 49th percentile. An average profitability reading usually means the company earns a fair return without obvious pricing power, so the other pillars decide more of the story.

Solvency

On solvency, Casey's General Stores, Inc. scores 7.0, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 5.9 across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it above them, at the 64th percentile. A high solvency score means leverage is modest relative to earnings and cash flow, which gives management room to act in a bad year.

Growth

Casey's General Stores, Inc.’s growth score is 6.7 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.0 among 149 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is well above the group and the 82nd percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.

Efficiency

There is no efficiency score for Casey's General Stores, Inc.: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies the median for this pillar is 6.2. Without it the overall cannot say how well reported profit turns into cash.

Predictability

Predictability scores 7.2 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 178 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.0, so Casey's General Stores, Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 87th percentile. High predictability means the company’s results have moved steadily from year to year, which makes the other pillars more trustworthy as a guide.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The profile is uneven. Predictability leads at 7.2 while profitability trails at 5.1, a gap of 2.1 points, so the overall averages a clear strength against a clear soft spot. A predictability lead means consistency is the business’s strongest trait, which makes its other readings easier to trust. A profitability shortfall is the one most worth understanding, since it bears directly on whether the business creates value.

What would move the score

Every scored pillar is at or above the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, so there is no catch-up left to lift the overall. The risk runs the other way: a one point fall in profitability, the heaviest of them, would take the score from 6.4 to about 6.1. Only four of the five pillars could be scored. Together they carry 85 of the 100 weight points (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and the overall is the weighted average of those alone.

Five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks and then weighted into one overall reading: profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability. Everything comes from reported financials, and nothing comes from price, sentiment or forecasts.
