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
CCKCrown Holdings, Inc.
Packaging & Containers · $108.26 · beta 0.56
Why now
Packaging & Containers · market cap $11.8b. 12% off the 52-week high of $122.91. PEG 0.64 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 14 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $134.93 (implying +25% upside).
Moat
ROE 27% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 153% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash.
Risk
Value re-rating depends on a catalyst. Without one — analyst day, divestiture, margin recovery, capital return — the stock can stay cheap on these multiples for years.
GEF-BGreif, Inc.
Packaging & Containers · $108.04 · beta 0.79
Why now
Packaging & Containers · market cap $4.1b. 6% off the 52-week high of $114.64. PEG 0.67 — paying under fair value for the growth rate.
Moat
Net margin 25% sits well above the S&P median (~11%) — suggests structural pricing advantage or cost discipline competitors can't quickly close. FCF converts 147% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash.
Risk
Trailing P/E 33x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.

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 CCK or GEF-B the better stock?
CCK scores higher: CCK 60.9, GEF-B 48.3 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 CCK and GEF-B differ most?
The widest gap is value, where CCK leads by 24 points on the 0–100 pillar scale. CCK also leads quality, while growth is effectively level between them.
How are CCK and GEF-B 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.
