As of October 17, 2026, Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. scores 4.6 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of mixed quality. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc.’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Among the 71 Consumer Staples companies with a published score, that ranks at the 27th percentile, just below the middle of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.8, and the best quarter starts from 6.8. Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. is below that typical reading.
On profitability, Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. scores 3.4, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.7 across 71 Consumer Staples companies, which places it below them, at the 30th percentile. Low margins and returns leave little cushion, so a downturn or a cost increase reaches the bottom line quickly.
Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc.’s solvency score is 7.2 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 6.9 among 65 Consumer Staples companies, that is in line with the group and the 59th 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 scores 2.4 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 67 Consumer Staples companies is 4.0, so Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 24th percentile. When growth is this low the question is whether it is a pause or a trend, and the history behind the filings is the place to look.
On efficiency, Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. scores 6.8, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 68 Consumer Staples companies, which places it in line with them, at the 55th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc.’s predictability score is 4.2 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.1 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is well below the group and the 24th percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.
The gap between Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 7.2 against growth at 2.4, 4.8 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 predictability would do the most for the overall. At the median of Consumer Staples companies, 6.1, Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. would score about 5.0 instead of 4.6. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. has a reading on every pillar.
