As of October 17, 2026, National Beverage Corp. scores 7.7 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of high quality. Businesses in this band tend to combine good returns with a sound balance sheet, even if one pillar lags the others. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is National Beverage Corp.’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Among the 71 Consumer Staples companies with a published score, that ranks at the 97th percentile, in the top tenth of its peers. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.8 and a company needs 6.8 to reach its top quarter, which leaves National Beverage Corp. well above the median.
National Beverage Corp.’s profitability score is 8.5 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 4.7 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is well above the group and the 89th percentile. A reading this strong says the business earns well on what it sells and on the capital it uses, the kind of margin profile competitors find hard to copy.
On solvency, National Beverage Corp. scores 10.0, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.9 across 65 Consumer Staples companies, which places it well above them, at the 99th 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, National Beverage Corp. scores 5.3, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 67 Consumer Staples companies, which places it above them, at the 62nd percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
Efficiency scores 6.6 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 68 Consumer Staples companies is 6.7, so National Beverage Corp. is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 48th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
On predictability, National Beverage Corp. scores 7.3, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.1 across 71 Consumer Staples companies, which places it above them, at the 86th 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.
The gap between National Beverage Corp.’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 10.0 against growth at 5.3, 4.7 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
National Beverage Corp. has no pillar below the median of Consumer Staples companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 7.5 rather than 7.7. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and National Beverage Corp. has a reading on every pillar.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
