On the filings behind it, Woodward, Inc. earns 6.5 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.
Ranked with the 270 Industrials companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 75th percentile, among the stronger quarter of the group. The median across the group is 5.6, and the top quarter begins at 6.5, so Woodward, Inc. is above the typical company here.
On profitability, Woodward, Inc. scores 6.4, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 262 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 69th 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.
On solvency, Woodward, Inc. scores 8.5, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 7.1 across 241 Industrials companies, which places it above them, at the 71st percentile. Balance sheet strength like this rarely makes headlines, but it is what lets a company keep investing when credit gets expensive.
Growth scores 6.0 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 216 Industrials companies is 5.4, so Woodward, Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 58th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
On efficiency, Woodward, Inc. scores 5.4, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 264 Industrials companies, which places it below them, at the 33rd percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Predictability scores 6.1 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 267 Industrials companies is 5.0, so Woodward, Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 72nd percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
The profile is uneven. Solvency leads at 8.5 while efficiency trails at 5.4, a gap of 3.1 points, so the overall averages a clear strength against a clear soft spot. A solvency lead means the balance sheet is the company’s strongest asset, a cushion that buys time when trading gets harder. An efficiency shortfall means profit is not turning into cash as readily as it could.
Closing the gap on efficiency would do the most for the overall. At the median of Industrials companies, 6.2, Woodward, Inc. would score about 6.6 instead of 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.
