On the filings behind it, Jacobs Solutions Inc. earns 5.0 out of 10 for business quality as of October 18, 2026. That is mixed quality on our scale. A mixed reading means the strengths and weaknesses roughly cancel out, and the case for the business depends on which pillars you care about most. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Among the 270 Industrials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 39th percentile, just below the middle of the group. The median across the group is 5.6, and the top quarter begins at 6.5, so Jacobs Solutions Inc. is below the typical company here.
Jacobs Solutions Inc.’s profitability score is 3.7 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.9 among 262 Industrials companies, that is below the group and the 36th percentile. A low reading here is the first thing to explain: it is the pillar most closely tied to whether the business creates value at all.
Solvency scores 6.5 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 241 Industrials companies is 7.1, so Jacobs Solutions Inc. is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 42nd percentile. Middling solvency says the balance sheet is neither a strength nor a constraint today.
Jacobs Solutions Inc.’s growth score is 2.7 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 5.4 among 216 Industrials companies, that is well below the group and the 13th percentile. When growth is this low the question is whether it is a pause or a trend, and the history behind the filings is the place to look.
Jacobs Solutions Inc.’s efficiency score is 7.6 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 6.2 among 264 Industrials companies, that is above the group and the 84th percentile. A strong efficiency reading usually shows up as healthy cash conversion: reported profit arriving as real cash rather than staying on the balance sheet.
On predictability, Jacobs Solutions Inc. scores 5.5, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.0 across 267 Industrials companies, which places it above them, at the 60th percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.
This is a lopsided profile. Efficiency scores 7.6 but growth only 2.7, a gap of 4.9 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. An efficiency lead means the operation turns what it has into cash better than it does anything else. A growth shortfall often comes with size or a maturing market, and is less of a concern if the other pillars are strong.
Closing the gap on growth would do the most for the overall. At the median of Industrials companies, 5.4, Jacobs Solutions Inc. would score about 5.5 instead of 5.0. 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.

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.
