Financial Health Scores: Consumer Defensive

Top Consumer Defensive companies ranked by overall financial health. Each score combines profitability, growth, leverage, liquidity, cash flow, and returns into a single 0-100 rating.

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 →

Research tool, not financial advice. Use alongside valuation analysis and your own view of the business.

How the Financial Health Score is calculated

Each company receives a composite score from 0 to 100 based on six financial dimensions derived from annual SEC filings: Profitability, Growth, Leverage, Liquidity, Cash Flow, and Returns. Each dimension is normalized to a 0 to 100 scale; the overall score is the simple average of all six (missing dimensions count as zero, so incomplete data can't inflate a ranking).

Trailing 3-year weighted average for the performance-oriented dimensions (Profitability, Cash Flow, Returns). The most recent fiscal year is weighted 50%, the year before 30%, and the year before that 20%, so a company still gets credit for improving quickly, but a single blockbuster year can't carry an otherwise weak record.
Growth uses a 3-year revenue CAGR (or year-over-year if only two years are available), so sustained growth beats one lucky quarter.
Leverage and Liquidity are balance-sheet snapshots, using the most recent available value and falling back to the prior year when a newly filed 10-K is missing a field.
Companies with fewer than three years of filings are scored on what's available. No minimum history is required, but the missing years count as zero in the flow-metric averages.
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.
