How McEwen Inc. scores

On the filings behind it, McEwen Inc. earns 5.7 out of 10 for business quality as of October 19, 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.

Ranked with the 77 Materials companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 68th percentile, in the upper half of the group, short of the top quarter. For reference, the middle of the group scores 4.4 and a company needs 6.2 to reach its top quarter, which leaves McEwen Inc. above the median.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, McEwen Inc. scores 7.7, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.4 across 74 Materials companies, which places it well above them, at the 86th percentile. Returns and margins at this level leave room to reinvest, absorb a bad year or return cash to shareholders without straining the business.

Solvency

McEwen Inc.’s solvency score is 8.6 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 6.7 among 66 Materials companies, that is well above the group and the 75th 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.

Growth

There is no growth score for McEwen Inc.: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 57 Materials companies the median for this pillar is 3.2. Growth needs at least three years of comparable annual statements, so a short or interrupted history leaves it blank.

Efficiency

McEwen Inc.’s efficiency score is 4.5 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.2 among 71 Materials companies, that is below the group and the 46th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.

Predictability

On predictability, McEwen Inc. scores 1.3, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.5 across 76 Materials companies, which places it well below them, at the 7th percentile. When results are this uneven, the averages behind the other pillars hide a lot of movement, and a longer history tells more than the latest year.

Strongest and weakest pillar

This is a lopsided profile. Solvency scores 8.6 but predictability only 1.3, a gap of 7.3 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A solvency lead means the balance sheet is the company’s strongest asset, a cushion that buys time when trading gets harder. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.

What would move the score

Closing the gap on predictability would do the most for the overall. At the median of Materials companies, 4.5, McEwen Inc. would score about 6.5 instead of 5.7. Only four of the five pillars could be scored. Together they carry 80 of the 100 weight points (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and the overall is the weighted average of those alone.

How this score is calculated

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.

Limitations

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.

What does the MUX quality score measure?

Five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks and then weighted into one overall reading: profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability. Everything comes from reported financials, and nothing comes from price, sentiment or forecasts.

How current is this score?

This page last changed on October 19, 2026. The score moves with the financial statements, so the page changes when a new filing moves the reading rather than on a schedule. Live figures for MUX are in the app.

Does a high score mean the stock is cheap?

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.
