As of October 17, 2026, Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. scores 5.1 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of mixed quality. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Among the 71 Consumer Staples companies with a published score, that ranks at the 35th percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.8 and a company needs 6.8 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. below the median.
Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.’s profitability score is 4.1 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.7 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is below the group and the 39th percentile. Middling returns are common and not a flaw in themselves, though they leave less slack when costs rise or demand softens.
Solvency scores 3.4 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 65 Consumer Staples companies is 6.9, so Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 11th percentile. Stretched leverage narrows the options open to management, since cash that services debt is cash that cannot be reinvested.
Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.’s growth score is 7.0 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 4.0 among 67 Consumer Staples companies, that is well above the group and the 78th percentile. Growth at this level is valuable when it is sustained, and the predictability pillar is the place to check whether it has been steady.
On efficiency, Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. scores 7.8, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 68 Consumer Staples companies, which places it above them, at the 79th 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.
Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.’s predictability score is 4.0 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.1 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is well below the group and the 21st 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.
The gap between Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: efficiency at 7.8 against solvency at 3.4, 4.4 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. When solvency is the soft spot, the question is how much of the cash flow is already spoken for by debt.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is solvency. If it rose to the median of Consumer Staples companies, 6.9, Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.’s overall score would go from 5.1 to about 5.8. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. has a reading on every pillar.
