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
CFCF Industries Holdings, Inc.
Why now
Agricultural Inputs · market cap $19.0b. 11% off the 52-week high of $141.96. Revenue growing +20%, comfortably above the S&P median. PEG 0.40 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 19 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $125.77 (implying +0% upside).
Moat
Net margin 32% is exceptional — pricing-power territory rare outside premium software, branded staples, and specialty pharma. ROE 43% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which.
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.
ORLAOrla Mining Ltd
Why now
Gold · market cap $3.5b. Down 57% from 52-week high of $21.98 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +208% — in hypergrowth territory.
Moat
Net margin 19% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 42% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 142% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Down 57% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Jurisdictional + permitting risk — mining and extraction operations concentrate exposure to political stability, royalty regimes, and environmental review timelines that can stall production for years.
Verdict — model-derived comparison
CF leads ORLA by 5.8 points (74.5 to 68.7), its sharpest advantage coming in PEG (grade A). A contrarian could still prefer ORLA, which trades about 35% below our DCF fair value — a margin of safety the score doesn't reward. Note they play different roles — CF screens as value, ORLA screens as growth — so the model rewards different traits for each.

Where CF and ORLA diverge
On the headline score the gap is 9.3 points in favor of CF. The widest single difference is Value, where CF leads by 22.2 points.
- ValueCF 90.6 · ORLA 68.4CF +22.2
- QualityCF 91.3 · ORLA 81.0CF +10.3
- GrowthCF 50.0 · ORLA 50.0level
Pillars run 0–100 against sector peers, so a 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.
