Does Crown Holdings Inc. have an economic moat?

Not enough data

We cannot judge Crown Holdings Inc. yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

How Crown Holdings Inc. scores

As of October 17, 2026, Crown Holdings Inc. scores 5.7 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 Crown Holdings Inc.’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.

Set against 179 Consumer Discretionary companies, Crown Holdings Inc. lands at the 63rd 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 Crown Holdings Inc. is above the typical company here.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

Profitability scores 6.3 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.1, so Crown Holdings Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 63rd 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, Crown Holdings Inc. scores 5.1, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.9 across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it below them, at the 41st percentile. Leverage in the middle of the range is rarely a problem in good years, and it is worth watching how quickly it would tighten in a weak one.

Growth

Growth scores 5.6 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies is 4.0, so Crown Holdings Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 69th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.

Efficiency

Crown Holdings Inc.’s efficiency score is 6.8 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.2 among 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is above the group and the 66th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.

Predictability

Crown Holdings Inc.’s predictability score is 4.8 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.0 among 178 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is in line with the group and the 43rd percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.

Strongest and weakest pillar

Efficiency at 6.8 is Crown Holdings Inc.’s best pillar and predictability at 4.8 its weakest. The 2.0 point gap between them is worth keeping in mind when reading the overall. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. Uneven results make any single year a weaker guide to the next one.

What would move the score

The pillar with the most room to move the score is solvency. If it rose to the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, 5.9, Crown Holdings Inc.’s overall score would go from 5.7 to about 5.9. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Crown Holdings Inc. has a reading on every pillar.
