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.

Why this score
- Short track record
The companies
IMAXIMAX Corporation
Why now
Entertainment · market cap $2.9b. 3% off the 52-week high of $54.50. Revenue growing +15%, comfortably above the S&P median. PEG 0.93 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 11 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $51.18 (implying -3% upside).
Moat
ROE 12% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere. Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income — non-cash charges (depreciation, intangible amortization) are holding down GAAP earnings while cash generation stays strong.
Risk
Trailing P/E 72.2x prices in sustained high growth — any quarter that disappoints triggers sharp re-rating.

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.
