How UFP Industries, Inc. scores

On the filings behind it, UFP Industries, Inc. earns 5.4 out of 10 for business quality as of October 19, 2026. That is mixed quality on our scale. A mixed reading means the strengths and weaknesses roughly cancel out, and the case for the business depends on which pillars you care about most. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.

Among the 77 Materials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 62nd percentile, in the better half of its peers. A typical company in the group scores 4.4, and the best quarter starts from 6.2. UFP Industries, Inc. is above that typical reading.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, UFP Industries, Inc. scores 4.1, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.4 across 74 Materials companies, which places it in line with them, at the 48th 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

On solvency, UFP Industries, Inc. scores 9.8, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 66 Materials companies, which places it well above them, at the 94th 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

On growth, UFP Industries, Inc. scores 0.4, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 3.2 across 57 Materials companies, which places it well below them, at the 6th 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.

Efficiency

Efficiency scores 7.4 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 71 Materials companies is 5.2, so UFP Industries, Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 94th percentile. Efficiency at this level means the company needs comparatively little capital to produce what it sells.

Predictability

On predictability, UFP Industries, Inc. scores 6.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.5 across 76 Materials companies, which places it well above them, at the 77th 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.

Strongest and weakest pillar

This is a lopsided profile. Solvency scores 9.8 but growth only 0.4, a gap of 9.4 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A solvency lead means the balance sheet is the company’s strongest asset, a cushion that buys time when trading gets harder. A growth shortfall often comes with size or a maturing market, and is less of a concern if the other pillars are strong.

What would move the score

Closing the gap on growth would do the most for the overall. At the median of Materials companies, 3.2, UFP Industries, Inc. would score about 6.0 instead of 5.4. 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.
