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.

Winner per row is the stronger grade; where grades tie, the better figure breaks it. A true tie or a missing value shows no highlight.

These two disagree on this pair: the Value pillar ranks cheapness against sector peers, while price-vs-fair-value is an absolute read. A name can be the better value in its sector and still the dearer one on cash flows.
The DCF is a cross-check on intrinsic value, separate from the quality-growth score above.

The companies
DVADaVita Inc.
Medical Care Facilities · $179.25 · beta 0.80
Why now
Medical Care Facilities · market cap $11.4b. Down 28% from 52-week high of $247.49 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.43 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 7 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $219.86 (implying +23% upside).
Moat
FCF converts 190% 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.
OPCHOption Care Health, Inc.
Medical Care Facilities · $31.07 · beta 0.58
Why now
Medical Care Facilities · market cap $4.7b. 16% off the 52-week high of $36.80. Revenue growing +13%, comfortably above the S&P median. 8 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $29.52 (implying -5% upside).
Moat
ROE 15% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. FCF converts 103% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash.
Risk
Net margin 3.6% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first.
Verdict — model-derived comparison
The model favors OPCH (75.1) over DVA (72) primarily due to its superior Growth pillar (88 vs 68), reflected in its +13.0% revenue expansion. However, a contrarian might prefer DVA for its significantly deeper discount to fair value at -66% and its much lower implied growth rate of -15%, suggesting less optimism is priced in.

Where DVA and OPCH diverge
On the headline score the gap is 0.5 points in favor of OPCH. They get there differently, though — each leads on a different pillar, so the better pick depends on which you weight.

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 OPCH or DVA the better stock?
OPCH scores higher: OPCH 70.3, DVA 69.8 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 OPCH and DVA differ most?
The widest gap is quality, where DVA leads by 24 points on the 0–100 pillar scale. Neither name sweeps: they trade the lead across the three pillars, so the comparison is a trade-off rather than one being better on every measure.
How are OPCH and DVA 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?
