As of October 18, 2026, Graco Inc. scores 7.8 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 Graco Inc.’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Ranked with the 270 Industrials companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 96th percentile, near the very top of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.6, and the best quarter starts from 6.5. Graco Inc. is well above that typical reading.
On profitability, Graco Inc. scores 8.6, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 262 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 94th 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.
Solvency scores 10.0 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 241 Industrials companies is 7.1, so Graco Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 96th percentile. Balance sheet strength like this rarely makes headlines, but it is what lets a company keep investing when credit gets expensive.
On growth, Graco Inc. scores 4.9, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.4 across 216 Industrials companies, which places it below them, at the 43rd 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 264 Industrials companies is 6.2, so Graco Inc. is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 60th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.
On predictability, Graco Inc. scores 8.4, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 5.0 across 267 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 96th percentile. Steady results like these are what make a long term view of the business easier to hold.
The gap between Graco Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 10.0 against growth at 4.9, 5.1 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.
Closing the gap on growth would do the most for the overall. At the median of Industrials companies, 5.4, Graco Inc. would score about 7.9 instead of 7.8. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Graco Inc. has a reading on every pillar.

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.

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.
