On the filings behind it, Brinker International Inc. earns 7.9 out of 10 for business quality as of October 17, 2026. That is high quality on our scale. A high reading means most of the pillars are strong, with no serious weakness pulling the average down. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Set against 179 Consumer Discretionary companies, Brinker International Inc. lands at the 99th percentile, among the top tenth of the group. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.0 and a company needs 6.1 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Brinker International Inc. well above the median.
Profitability scores 8.5 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.1, so Brinker International Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 89th 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.
Brinker International Inc.’s solvency score is 7.4 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 5.9 among 141 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is well above the group and the 71st 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.
On growth, Brinker International Inc. scores 9.0, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it well above them, at the 96th percentile. A high growth score rewards a business that is getting bigger in a way that reaches the bottom line, not just the top one.
Efficiency scores 8.9 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies is 6.2, so Brinker International Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 98th percentile. High efficiency means assets and earnings are being turned into cash and output better than at most peers, a sign of a well run operation.
On predictability, Brinker International Inc. scores 5.6, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.0 across 178 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it above them, at the 62nd percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
The profile is uneven. Growth leads at 9.0 while predictability trails at 5.6, a gap of 3.4 points, so the overall averages a clear strength against a clear soft spot. A growth lead says the business is expanding faster than it is doing anything else well, which is worth checking against predictability. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.
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 7.9 to about 7.7. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
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.
