The Quality Score for IOSP stands at 6.0 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which puts Innospec 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 Innospec Inc.’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Ranked with the 77 Materials companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 72nd percentile, above the middle of the group. The median across the group is 4.4, and the top quarter begins at 6.2, so Innospec Inc. is well above the typical company here.
Profitability scores 4.6 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 74 Materials companies is 4.4, so Innospec Inc. is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 51st percentile. Middling returns are common and not a flaw in themselves, though they leave less slack when costs rise or demand softens.
On solvency, Innospec Inc. scores 10.0, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 66 Materials companies, which places it well above them, at the 99th percentile. Balance sheet strength like this rarely makes headlines, but it is what lets a company keep investing when credit gets expensive.
Innospec Inc.’s growth score is 4.7 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 3.2 among 57 Materials companies, that is well above the group and the 63rd percentile. Growth near the median is neither a reason to buy nor a concern, but it does mean the quality case rests more on the other pillars.
Efficiency scores 5.7 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 71 Materials companies is 5.2, so Innospec Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 64th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Predictability scores 5.0 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 76 Materials companies is 4.5, so Innospec Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 63rd percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.
The gap between Innospec Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 10.0 against profitability at 4.6, 5.4 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. Weak profitability can be cyclical, so it helps to know whether margins are at a low point or a long-run level.
Innospec Inc. has no pillar below the median of Materials 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 5.8 rather than 6.0. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Innospec 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.
