On the filings behind it, Lear Corporation earns 6.0 out of 10 for business quality as of October 17, 2026. That is solid quality on our scale. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Set against 179 Consumer Discretionary companies, Lear Corporation lands at the 71st percentile, in the better half of its peers. The median across the group is 5.0, and the top quarter begins at 6.1, so Lear Corporation is above the typical company here.
Profitability scores 3.3 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.1, so Lear Corporation is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 31st 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 7.5 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.9, so Lear Corporation is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 73rd 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.
Lear Corporation’s growth score is 6.2 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.0 among 149 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is well above the group and the 77th percentile. A middling growth reading is typical of a mature company whose next step depends on reinvestment rather than on its market growing for it.
Efficiency scores 8.1 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies is 6.2, so Lear Corporation is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 95th 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.
On predictability, Lear Corporation scores 6.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.0 across 178 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it above them, at the 71st 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 8.1 but profitability only 3.3, a gap of 4.8 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 profitability shortfall is the one most worth understanding, since it bears directly on whether the business creates value.
Of everything that could lift Lear Corporation’s score, profitability matters most. Bringing it up to the 5.1 median of Consumer Discretionary companies would take the overall from 6.0 to roughly 6.5. 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.
