The companies
CPRTCopart, Inc.
Specialty Business Services · $27.32 · beta 1.06
Why now
Specialty Business Services · market cap $25.3b. Down 40% from 52-week high of $45.89 — deep drawdown territory. 10 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $39.00 (implying +43% upside).
Moat
Net margin 32% is exceptional — pricing-power territory rare outside premium software, branded staples, and specialty pharma. ROE 16% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately.
Risk
Down 40% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
FLNCFluence Energy Inc
Electrical Equipment · $7.30 · beta 2.79
Why now
Electrical Equipment · market cap $1.4b. Down 78% from 52-week high of $33.51 — deep drawdown territory.
Moat
Turnaround / out-of-favor name — GAAP-unprofitable for now, so the durability case is forward-looking: it rests on a recovery (margin normalization, a cyclical upturn or restructuring) or an un-monetized asset (IP / network effects / first-mover position) rather than on current reported results.
Risk
Free cash flow is negative (-$115m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Currently unprofitable (margin -3.1%) — path to GAAP profitability is the core thesis risk. Down 78% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.

GrowthCPRT 68.5 · FLNC 60.6CPRT +7.9
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 CPRT or FLNC the better stock?
CPRT scores higher: CPRT 77.7, FLNC 32.4 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 CPRT and FLNC differ most?
The widest gap is value, where CPRT leads by 62 points on the 0–100 pillar scale. CPRT leads all three pillars, so the gap is broad rather than a single-measure difference.
How are CPRT and FLNC 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.
