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
ATEXAnterix Inc.
Telecom Services · $84.53 · beta 0.89
Why now
Telecom Services · market cap $1.7b. Down 25% from 52-week high of $113.00 — deep drawdown territory. 3 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $112.33 (implying +33% upside).
Moat
ROE 23% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately.
Risk
Mature compounder — the risk is paying up for quality at a moment when growth is decelerating. Watch for sequential revenue + margin trends; the inflection from "compounder" to "ex-compounder" is hard to spot until the multiple already started compressing.
CHTRCharter Communications, Inc.
Telecom Services · $103.38 · beta 0.69
Why now
Telecom Services · market cap $13.4b. Down 62% from 52-week high of $268.77 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.62 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 19 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $175.11 (implying +69% upside).
Moat
ROE 27% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which.
Risk
D/E 4.42 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Down 62% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.

Where ATEX and CHTR diverge
On the headline score the gap is 8.1 points in favor of CHTR. They get there differently, though — each leads on a different pillar, so the better pick depends on which you weight.

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 CHTR or ATEX the better stock?
CHTR scores higher: CHTR 59.5, ATEX 51.4 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 CHTR and ATEX differ most?
The widest gap is value, where CHTR leads by 65 points on the 0–100 pillar scale. Neither name sweeps: they trade the lead across the three pillars, so the comparison is a trade-off rather than one being better on every measure.
How are CHTR and ATEX 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?
