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
ALVAutoliv, Inc.
Why now
Auto Parts · market cap $9.2b. 5% off the 52-week high of $132.17. PEG 0.85 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 17 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $134.71 (implying +7% upside).
Moat
ROE 26% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 118% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
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.
DORMDorman Products, Inc.
Why now
Auto Parts · market cap $3.9b. Down 21% from 52-week high of $166.89 — deep drawdown territory. 8 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $162.38 (implying +23% upside).
Moat
ROE 14% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere. FCF converts 98% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Mature compounder — the risk is paying up for quality at a moment when growth is decelerating. Watch for sequential revenue + margin trends; the inflection from "compounder" to "ex-compounder" is hard to spot until the multiple already started compressing.
Verdict — model-derived comparison
ALV leads DORM by 1.4 points (64.4 to 63.0), its sharpest advantage coming in P/E (grade A-). A contrarian could still prefer DORM for its stronger D/E (grade A-). Note they play different roles — ALV screens as value, DORM screens as growth — so the model rewards different traits for each.
Our AI analyst is busy right now, so this verdict is drawn directly from the pillars, grades and DCF above.

- GrowthALV 50.0 · DORM 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.
