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
GPORGulfport Energy Corporation
Oil & Gas E&P · $162.66 · beta 0.56
Why now
Oil & Gas E&P · market cap $2.9b. Down 28% from 52-week high of $225.78 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +43% — in hypergrowth territory. PEG 0.69 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 13 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $213.31 (implying +31% upside).
Moat
Net margin 36% is exceptional — pricing-power territory rare outside premium software, branded staples, and specialty pharma. ROE 27% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which.
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.
OXYOccidental Petroleum Corporation
Oil & Gas E&P · $60.11 · beta 0.24
Why now
Oil & Gas E&P · market cap $60.1b. 11% off the 52-week high of $67.45. 25 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $68.36 (implying +14% upside).
Moat
Net margin 34% is exceptional — pricing-power territory rare outside premium software, branded staples, and specialty pharma. ROE 18% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. $60.1b market cap gives the company enough scale to absorb fixed costs that subscale competitors can't, without yet being so large that growth has to come from acquisition.
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.

QualityGPOR 76.2 · OXY 74.1level
GrowthGPOR 50.0 · OXY 50.0level
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 GPOR or OXY the better stock?
GPOR scores higher: GPOR 63.9, OXY 61.7 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 GPOR and OXY differ most?
The widest gap is value, where GPOR leads by 5 points on the 0–100 pillar scale. The other two pillars are close enough to call level, so this is the one place they genuinely separate.
How are GPOR and OXY 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.
