The Quality Score for ELV stands at 5.8 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which puts Elevance Health, Inc. in the solid quality band. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. It rolls Elevance Health, Inc.’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Ranked with the 212 Healthcare companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 70th percentile, above the middle of the group. The median across the group is 4.4, and the top quarter begins at 6.0, so Elevance Health, Inc. is above the typical company here.
On profitability, Elevance Health, Inc. scores 3.7, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 2.7 across 210 Healthcare companies, which places it above them, at the 59th 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.
Elevance Health, Inc.’s solvency score is 6.2 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.5 among 150 Healthcare companies, that is in line with the group and the 45th 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.
Elevance Health, Inc.’s growth score is 3.5 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.9 among 107 Healthcare companies, that is below the group and the 35th percentile. A low growth score is common for large, established companies and is not a verdict on quality on its own, but it limits how the business can compound.
Efficiency scores 7.2 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 200 Healthcare companies is 6.0, so Elevance Health, Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 68th 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.
Predictability scores 8.9 out of 10, which reads as strong. None of the other Healthcare companies scores higher here, against a median of 3.4 across 207 of them. Steady results like these are what make a long term view of the business easier to hold.
The gap between Elevance Health, Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: predictability at 8.9 against growth at 3.5, 5.4 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with predictability suits a steady compounder, even if the other pillars are less striking. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
Closing the gap on growth would do the most for the overall. At the median of Healthcare companies, 4.9, Elevance Health, Inc. would score about 6.1 instead of 5.8. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Elevance Health, Inc. has a reading on every pillar.
