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.

Winner per row is the stronger grade; where grades tie, the better figure breaks it. A true tie or a missing value shows no highlight.
The companies
BCHBanco de Chile
Banks - Regional · $39.10 · beta 0.06
Why now
Banks - Regional · market cap $19.7b. 16% off the 52-week high of $46.77. 12 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $41.03 (implying +5% upside).
Moat
Net margin 45% is exceptional — pricing-power territory rare outside premium software, branded staples, and specialty pharma. ROE 22% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. Financial moat — scale of deposit base / underwriting franchise plus regulatory capital advantages. The largest players compound book value through cycles that erase smaller competitors.
Risk
Dividend payout 85% of earnings on a 5.6% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut. Balance-sheet financial — book value, net interest margin, and credit loss provisions are the lever points; a rates regime change or a deterioration in the loan book moves the stock more than EPS does.

Why now
Banks - Regional · market cap $15.2b. 15% off the 52-week high of $37.72. Revenue growing +20%, comfortably above the S&P median. 11 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $34.95 (implying +9% upside).
Moat
Net margin 47% is exceptional — pricing-power territory rare outside premium software, branded staples, and specialty pharma. ROE 24% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. Financial moat — scale of deposit base / underwriting franchise plus regulatory capital advantages. The largest players compound book value through cycles that erase smaller competitors.
Risk
Credit-cycle exposure — provisions tend to lag actual loan deterioration by 2-3 quarters; a sharp uptick in net charge-offs is a leading indicator the market often misses until it's already priced.

Common questions
Is BSAC or BCH the better stock?
BSAC scores higher: BSAC 75.0, BCH 64.0 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.
How are BSAC and BCH 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.
