On the filings behind it, Wabtec Corporation earns 6.7 out of 10 for business quality as of October 18, 2026. That is solid quality on our scale. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Among the 270 Industrials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 80th percentile, in the top quarter of its peers. The median across the group is 5.6, and the top quarter begins at 6.5, so Wabtec Corporation is above the typical company here.
On profitability, Wabtec Corporation scores 5.1, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 262 Industrials companies, which places it in line with them, at the 53rd percentile. Middling returns are common and not a flaw in themselves, though they leave less slack when costs rise or demand softens.
Solvency scores 7.0 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 241 Industrials companies is 7.1, so Wabtec Corporation is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 47th percentile. Balance sheet strength like this rarely makes headlines, but it is what lets a company keep investing when credit gets expensive.
Wabtec Corporation’s growth score is 7.2 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 5.4 among 216 Industrials companies, that is well above the group and the 78th percentile. Strong growth means revenue, earnings and cash flow have been compounding faster than at most peers over the last few years.
Efficiency scores 6.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 264 Industrials companies is 6.2, so Wabtec Corporation is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 64th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.
On predictability, Wabtec Corporation scores 8.0, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 5.0 across 267 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 94th percentile. High predictability means the company’s results have moved steadily from year to year, which makes the other pillars more trustworthy as a guide.
The profile is uneven. Predictability leads at 8.0 while profitability trails at 5.1, a gap of 2.9 points, so the overall averages a clear strength against a clear soft spot. A predictability lead means consistency is the business’s strongest trait, which makes its other readings easier to trust. A profitability shortfall is the one most worth understanding, since it bears directly on whether the business creates value.
Every scored pillar is at or above the median of Industrials companies, so there is no catch-up left to lift the overall. The risk runs the other way: a one point fall in profitability, the heaviest of them, would take the score from 6.7 to about 6.5. 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.

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.
