Side by side · every name on one set of axes
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
CMPRCimpress plc
Specialty Business Services · $74.71 · beta 1.82
Why now
Specialty Business Services · market cap $1.8b. Down 30% from 52-week high of $106.58 — deep drawdown territory.
Moat
FCF converts 165% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash.
Risk
Beta 1.82 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return. Net margin 2.6% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first.
FCNFTI Consulting, Inc.
Consulting Services · $137.89 · beta -0.06
Why now
Consulting Services · market cap $3.8b. Down 27% from 52-week high of $189.30 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.96 — paying under fair value for the growth rate.
Moat
ROE 19% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. FCF converts 142% 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.

Common questions
Is FCN or CMPR the better stock?
FCN scores higher: FCN 71.1, CMPR 70.0 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 FCN and CMPR 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.
