Not enough data

We cannot judge Las Vegas Sands Corp. yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

How Las Vegas Sands Corp. scores

As of October 17, 2026, Las Vegas Sands Corp. scores 5.6 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of solid quality. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.

Set against 179 Consumer Discretionary companies, Las Vegas Sands Corp. lands at the 60th percentile, in the better half of its peers. A typical company in the group scores 5.0, and the best quarter starts from 6.1. Las Vegas Sands Corp. is above that typical reading.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

Profitability scores 8.9 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.1, so Las Vegas Sands Corp. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 91st 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.

Solvency

Solvency scores 4.4 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.9, so Las Vegas Sands Corp. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 30th percentile. Middling solvency says the balance sheet is neither a strength nor a constraint today.

Growth

Growth has no score for Las Vegas Sands Corp. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median growth score across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies is 4.0. Growth needs at least three years of comparable annual statements, so a short or interrupted history leaves it blank.

Efficiency

On efficiency, Las Vegas Sands Corp. scores 6.9, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it above them, at the 73rd percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.

Predictability

Predictability scores 1.6 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 178 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.0, so Las Vegas Sands Corp. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 5th percentile. A low predictability score often belongs to cyclical businesses, where good and bad years alternate with the economy or with commodity prices.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The gap between Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s best and worst pillar is wide: profitability at 8.9 against predictability at 1.6, 7.3 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. Uneven results make any single year a weaker guide to the next one.

What would move the score

Of everything that could lift Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s score, predictability matters most. Bringing it up to the 5.0 median of Consumer Discretionary companies would take the overall from 5.6 to roughly 6.4. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 80 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).

Limitations
