Growth against the P/E multiple. Up and to the right is cheaper and faster — the quality-growth idea in one picture. Points beyond the axis are pinned to the edge and marked off-scale rather than allowed to compress everything else.

The companies
AMTMAmentum Holdings, Inc.
Specialty Business Services · $19.29 · beta 0.31
Why now
Specialty Business Services · market cap $4.7b. Down 49% from 52-week high of $38.11 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +72% — in hypergrowth territory. 12 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $29.42 (implying +52% upside).
Moat
Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income, mostly because of depreciation and amortization ($439m) — non-cash charges that hold down reported earnings while cash generation stays strong.
Risk
Down 49% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Net margin 1.4% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE 4% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
CBZCBIZ, Inc.
Specialty Business Services · $54.82 · beta 0.92
Why now
Specialty Business Services · market cap $3.0b. Trading near 52-week high of $56.41 — momentum setup, limited technical margin of safety. Revenue growing +52% — in hypergrowth territory.
Moat
Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income, mostly because of depreciation and amortization ($96m) — non-cash charges that hold down reported earnings while cash generation stays strong.
Risk
Trading within 3% of the 52-week high — limited technical margin of safety; a momentum reversal would test conviction. Net margin 4.4% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE 6% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.

GrowthAMTM 88.2 · CBZ 87.0level
QualityAMTM 44.4 · CBZ 44.5level
Pillars run 0–100. Value is judged against each company's own sector, so a Value score is a statement about a company relative to its own industry rather than to the other name here. A wide Value gap usually means the market already prices the difference in quality or growth — which is the trade-off this comparison comes down to.
Common questions
Is AMTM or CBZ the better stock?
AMTM scores higher: AMTM 70.2, CBZ 65.2 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth score, which blends business quality, growth and valuation into one number. A higher score means a stronger business at a more reasonable price — it is not a price target or a recommendation.
Where do AMTM and CBZ differ most?
The widest gap is value, where AMTM leads by 17 points on the 0–100 pillar scale. The other two pillars are close enough to call level, so this is the one place they genuinely separate.
How are AMTM and CBZ scored?
Each carries the same 0–100 quality-growth score used everywhere on the site, built from three pillars — quality (profitability and returns on capital), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (what you pay for them) — combined as a geometric mean, so a weak pillar cannot be papered over by a strong one.
How current is this comparison?
The whole universe is re-scored every trading day after the US market close, so the scores and fundamentals here reflect the latest published edition.
