As of October 19, 2026, Materion Corp scores 4.8 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 Materion Corp’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Set against 77 Materials companies, Materion Corp lands at the 54th percentile, in the upper half of the group, short of the top quarter. The median across the group is 4.4, and the top quarter begins at 6.2, so Materion Corp is in line with the typical company here.
Profitability scores 4.0 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 74 Materials companies is 4.4, so Materion Corp is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 47th percentile. An average profitability reading usually means the company earns a fair return without obvious pricing power, so the other pillars decide more of the story.
On solvency, Materion Corp scores 6.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 66 Materials companies, which places it below them, at the 43rd percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.
Materion Corp’s growth score is 4.3 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 3.2 among 57 Materials companies, that is above the group and the 61st 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.
Materion Corp’s efficiency score is 5.5 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.2 among 71 Materials companies, that is in line with the group and the 60th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.
Predictability scores 4.6 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 76 Materials companies is 4.5, so Materion Corp is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 55th 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.
Solvency at 6.0 is Materion Corp’s best pillar and profitability at 4.0 its weakest. The 2.0 point gap between them is worth keeping in mind when reading the overall. 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 Materion Corp’s score, solvency matters most. Bringing it up to the 6.7 median of Materials companies would take the overall from 4.8 to roughly 4.9. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Materion Corp has a reading on every pillar.

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.
