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.

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
ARAntero Resources Corporation
Why now
Oil & Gas E&P · market cap $11.7b. 17% off the 52-week high of $45.75. Revenue growing +26% — in hypergrowth territory. PEG 0.49 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 20 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $49.40 (implying +30% upside).
Moat
Net margin 18% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 14% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere.
Risk
Jurisdictional + permitting risk — mining and extraction operations concentrate exposure to political stability, royalty regimes, and environmental review timelines that can stall production for years.
EQTEQT Corporation
Why now
Oil & Gas E&P · market cap $33.6b. Down 21% from 52-week high of $68.24 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +32% — in hypergrowth territory. 25 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $67.72 (implying +26% upside).
Moat
Net margin 28% sits well above the S&P median (~11%) — suggests structural pricing advantage or cost discipline competitors can't quickly close. ROE 11% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere. FCF converts 139% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Production-cost sensitivity — top-quartile cost producers generate cash through the cycle while marginal producers burn it; watch the cost-per-unit trend, not just headline revenue.

Where AR and EQT diverge
On the headline score the gap is 6.6 points in favor of AR. They get there differently, though — each leads on a different pillar, so the better pick depends on which you weight.

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.
