Procter & Gamble (PG) scores 7.5 out of 10 as of , computed from its reported financial statements. That reads as high quality. The reading rests on predictability, and growth is what holds it back.
Data provided by Twelve Data. Scores are computed by Lemma Analysis from reported financials.
We cannot judge Procter & Gamble yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.
Quantitative signs of a moat, read from the filed statements. This is not a judgement of where it comes from (brand, network effects, switching costs). How Lemma measures a moat →
Consistency is the entire proposition, so predictability and profitability should score near the top and growth should not. The interesting pillar is efficiency: a portfolio this broad is periodically pruned, and asset turnover and margin trend show whether the pruning is working. A quality score is a reasonable way to check that a defensive reputation is still deserved.
As of October 17, 2026, Procter & Gamble scores 7.5 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of high quality. Businesses in this band tend to combine good returns with a sound balance sheet, even if one pillar lags the others. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Procter & Gamble’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Among the 71 Consumer Staples companies with a published score, that ranks at the 96th percentile, in the top tenth of its peers. The median across the group is 5.8, and the top quarter begins at 6.8, so Procter & Gamble is well above the typical company here.
On profitability, Procter & Gamble scores 8.7, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.7 across 71 Consumer Staples companies, which places it well above them, at the 93rd percentile. A reading this strong says the business earns well on what it sells and on the capital it uses, the kind of margin profile competitors find hard to copy.
Solvency scores 8.2 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 65 Consumer Staples companies is 6.9, so Procter & Gamble is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 78th percentile. Balance sheet strength like this rarely makes headlines, but it is what lets a company keep investing when credit gets expensive.
Procter & Gamble’s growth score is 3.8 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.0 among 67 Consumer Staples companies, that is in line with the group and the 40th percentile. Weak growth means revenue and earnings have been flat or shrinking against peers, which can be cyclical or a sign of a market that is maturing.
On efficiency, Procter & Gamble scores 7.2, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 68 Consumer Staples companies, which places it above them, at the 67th 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.
Predictability scores 9.3 out of 10, which reads as strong. None of the other Consumer Staples companies scores higher here, against a median of 6.1 across 71 of them. High predictability means the company’s results have moved steadily from year to year, which makes the other pillars more trustworthy as a guide.
The gap between Procter & Gamble’s best and worst pillar is wide: predictability at 9.3 against growth at 3.8, 5.5 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with predictability suits a steady compounder, even if the other pillars are less striking. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
Procter & Gamble has no pillar below the median of Consumer Staples companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 7.3 rather than 7.5. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Procter & Gamble has a reading on every pillar.
For a fair comparison, start with companies of a similar size: the Consumer Staples companies below are nearest to Procter & Gamble by market value, each scored on the same pillars.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.
How well assets and earnings convert into cash and output.
How stable and consistent results have been over time.
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.
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.

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.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
