The Quality Score for VFC stands at 4.5 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts VF Corporation 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 VF Corporation’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Among the 179 Consumer Discretionary companies with a published score, that ranks at the 38th percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.0 and a company needs 6.1 to reach its top quarter, which leaves VF Corporation below the median.
On profitability, VF Corporation scores 5.1, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.1 across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it in line with them, at the 48th percentile. An average profitability reading usually means the company earns a fair return without obvious pricing power, so the other pillars decide more of the story.
VF Corporation’s solvency score is 5.1 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.9 among 141 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is below the group and the 40th percentile. Middling solvency says the balance sheet is neither a strength nor a constraint today.
On growth, VF Corporation scores 0.9, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it well below them, at the 10th 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, VF Corporation scores 7.5, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it above them, at the 86th 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 4.7 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 178 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.0, so VF Corporation is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 41st 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 VF Corporation’s best and worst pillar is wide: efficiency at 7.5 against growth at 0.9, 6.6 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is growth. If it rose to the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, 4.0, VF Corporation’s overall score would go from 4.5 to about 5.1. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and VF Corporation has a reading on every pillar.

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.
