Financial Health Scores: Basic Materials

Top Basic Materials companies by financial health score. Each score is a 0-100 composite of six dimensions ranked as percentiles within the company's peer group (banks against banks, REITs against REITs), so it measures standing among peers rather than absolute cross-industry strength.

Rates the quality of the business, not whether the stock is cheap. A 0–100 composite of profitability, growth, leverage, liquidity, cash flow, and returns.

A high score means strong fundamentals, but not a guaranteed good trade. A great business can still be a bad buy at the wrong price.

Banks, REITs, insurers, and early-stage companies are scored on sector-tailored metrics. Full methodology →

How the Financial Health Score is calculated

Each company receives a composite score from 0 to 100 built from six dimensions derived from SEC filings. The dimensions are family-specific: a company is scored on the metrics that matter for its business type, then ranked against direct peers rather than across every industry. A score is a company's standing within its peer group, not an absolute cross-industry rating; a 70 for a bank and a 70 for a software company both mean "top of its family," not "equally strong businesses."

Each of the six dimensions is scored as a percentile within the family (how the company ranks against its peers on that dimension). The overall score is the rounded average of the six, with any dimension we can't compute counted as zero out of a fixed denominator of six, so incomplete data can't inflate a ranking.

Operating companies, energy and utilities are scored on Profitability, Growth, Leverage, Liquidity, Cash Flow, and Returns.
Banks are scored on Earnings, Growth, Capital, Efficiency, Credit Quality, and Stability.
Insurers are scored on Loss Ratio, Premium Growth, Capital, Investment Yield, Combined Ratio, and Stability.
REITs are scored on FFO Margin, FFO Growth, Leverage, Interest Coverage, AFFO Margin, and Dividend Coverage.
Emerging (pre-profit) companies are scored on Cash Runway, Dilution, R&D Intensity, Revenue Progress, Burn Trend, and Balance Sheet.
Warrants, preferred shares and duplicate listings that share a parent company's financials are automatically filtered from the ranking.

The Piotroski F-Score (0 to 9) measures fundamental strength using nine binary accounting tests; the Altman Z-Score estimates bankruptcy risk, classifying companies into Safe, Grey, or Distress zones. These two signals are shown alongside the composite score for additional perspective.
