The Quality Score for MGPI stands at 3.2 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts MGP Ingredients Inc. in the low quality band. Scores this low usually reflect thin margins, a stretched balance sheet or an erratic record, and the pillars below show which. It rolls MGP Ingredients Inc.’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Ranked with the 71 Consumer Staples companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 9th percentile, in the bottom quarter of the group. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.8 and a company needs 6.8 to reach its top quarter, which leaves MGP Ingredients Inc. well below the median.
MGP Ingredients Inc.’s profitability score is 1.1 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.7 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is well below the group and the 4th percentile. Weak profitability means the business converts less of its sales and capital into profit than its peers, which can come from thin pricing power, high costs or a temporary squeeze.
MGP Ingredients Inc.’s solvency score is 5.9 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.9 among 65 Consumer Staples companies, that is below the group and the 39th percentile. Leverage in the middle of the range is rarely a problem in good years, and it is worth watching how quickly it would tighten in a weak one.
On growth, MGP Ingredients Inc. scores 4.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 67 Consumer Staples companies, which places it in line with them, at the 52nd 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 1.4 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 68 Consumer Staples companies is 6.7, so MGP Ingredients Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 1st percentile. Weak efficiency means more capital is tied up to produce each unit of output, or less of reported profit is arriving as cash.
MGP Ingredients Inc.’s predictability score is 3.7 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 6.1 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is well below the group and the 17th percentile. Weak predictability means revenue or earnings have swung widely from year to year, so any single year’s figures are a less reliable guide.
The gap between MGP Ingredients Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 5.9 against profitability at 1.1, 4.8 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.
Of everything that could lift MGP Ingredients Inc.’s score, profitability matters most. Bringing it up to the 4.7 median of Consumer Staples companies would take the overall from 3.2 to roughly 4.1. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and MGP Ingredients Inc. has a reading on every pillar.
