O'Reilly Automotive Inc. (ORLY) has a Lemma Quality Score of 7.0 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which reads as high quality. A high reading means most of the pillars are strong, with no serious weakness pulling the average down. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Ranked with the 179 Consumer Discretionary companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 88th percentile, inside the top quarter of the group. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.0 and a company needs 6.1 to reach its top quarter, which leaves O'Reilly Automotive Inc. well above the median.
On profitability, O'Reilly Automotive Inc. scores 8.6, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 5.1 across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it well above them, at the 90th 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 scores 7.4 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.9, so O'Reilly Automotive Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 69th percentile. Strong solvency points to a balance sheet that can carry its debts comfortably, with interest well covered and little pressure from creditors.
Growth scores 4.3 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies is 4.0, so O'Reilly Automotive Inc. is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 53rd percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
On efficiency, O'Reilly Automotive Inc. scores 4.8, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it below them, at the 29th percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.
Predictability scores 9.2 out of 10, which reads as strong. None of the other Consumer Discretionary companies scores higher here, against a median of 5.0 across 178 of them. A strong predictability score rewards consistency: revenue and earnings that rarely surprise in either direction.
This is a lopsided profile. Predictability scores 9.2 but growth only 4.3, a gap of 4.9 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A predictability lead means consistency is the business’s strongest trait, which makes its other readings easier to trust. A growth shortfall often comes with size or a maturing market, and is less of a concern if the other pillars are strong.
Of everything that could lift O'Reilly Automotive Inc.’s score, efficiency matters most. Bringing it up to the 6.2 median of Consumer Discretionary companies would take the overall from 7.0 to roughly 7.2. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.
