Reliance, Inc. (RS) scored on five pillars from its reported financial statements, and ranked against 77 Materials companies.
Reliance, Inc. (RS) scores 5.3 out of 10 as of , computed from its reported financial statements. That reads as mixed quality. The reading rests on solvency, and growth is what holds it back.
Data provided by Twelve Data. Scores are computed by Lemma Analysis from reported financials.
We cannot judge Reliance, 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”.

The Quality Score for RS stands at 5.3 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which puts Reliance, Inc. in the mixed quality band. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. It rolls Reliance, Inc.’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Ranked with the 77 Materials companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 61st percentile, above the middle of the group. The median across the group is 4.4, and the top quarter begins at 6.2, so Reliance, Inc. is above the typical company here.
On profitability, Reliance, Inc. scores 4.9, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.4 across 74 Materials companies, which places it above them, at the 55th percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
Solvency scores 8.9 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 66 Materials companies is 6.7, so Reliance, Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 78th 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.
Reliance, Inc.’s growth score is 1.4 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 3.2 among 57 Materials companies, that is well below the group and the 21st percentile. A low growth score is common for large, established companies and is not a verdict on quality on its own, but it limits how the business can compound.
Reliance, Inc.’s efficiency score is 5.7 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.2 among 71 Materials companies, that is above the group and the 67th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Predictability scores 5.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 76 Materials companies is 4.5, so Reliance, Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 75th percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.
The gap between Reliance, Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 8.9 against growth at 1.4, 7.5 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
Closing the gap on growth would do the most for the overall. At the median of Materials companies, 3.2, Reliance, Inc. would score about 5.7 instead of 5.3. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Reliance, Inc. has a reading on every pillar.
For a fair comparison, start with companies of a similar size: the Materials companies below are nearest to Reliance, Inc. by market value, each scored on the same pillars.

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.
