Does Perimeter Solutions, Inc. have an economic moat?

Not enough data

We cannot judge Perimeter Solutions, Inc. 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”.

How Perimeter Solutions, Inc. scores

The Quality Score for PRM stands at 2.2 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which puts Perimeter Solutions, 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 Perimeter Solutions, Inc.’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.

Among the 77 Materials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 9th percentile, in the bottom quarter of the group. The median across the group is 4.4, and the top quarter begins at 6.2, so Perimeter Solutions, Inc. is well below the typical company here.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, Perimeter Solutions, Inc. scores 2.0, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.4 across 74 Materials companies, which places it well below them, at the 37th percentile. Low margins and returns leave little cushion, so a downturn or a cost increase reaches the bottom line quickly.

Solvency

Perimeter Solutions, Inc.’s solvency score is 4.1 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.7 among 66 Materials companies, that is well below the group and the 23rd percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.

Growth

Growth has no score for Perimeter Solutions, Inc. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median growth score across 57 Materials companies is 3.2. Growth needs at least three years of comparable annual statements, so a short or interrupted history leaves it blank.

Efficiency

Efficiency scores 1.2 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 71 Materials companies is 5.2, so Perimeter Solutions, Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 1st percentile. Poor conversion of assets and earnings into cash can come from heavy investment phases, and it matters whether that investment is paying off.

Predictability

Perimeter Solutions, Inc.’s predictability score is 1.3 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.5 among 76 Materials companies, that is well below the group and the 5th percentile. A low predictability score often belongs to cyclical businesses, where good and bad years alternate with the economy or with commodity prices.

Strongest and weakest pillar

Solvency at 4.1 is Perimeter Solutions, Inc.’s best pillar and efficiency at 1.2 its weakest. The 2.9 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 efficiency can reflect a heavy investment phase, which only pays off if the investment earns a return.

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, Perimeter Solutions, Inc. would score about 3.0 instead of 2.2. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 80 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).

What does the PRM 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 PRM 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.
