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
OMFOneMain Holdings, Inc.
Credit Services · $56.07 · beta 1.21
Why now
Credit Services · market cap $6.5b. Down 22% from 52-week high of $71.93 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.75 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 14 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $68.50 (implying +22% upside).
Moat
Net margin 26% sits well above the S&P median (~11%) — suggests structural pricing advantage or cost discipline competitors can't quickly close. ROE 23% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income.
Risk
D/E 6.73 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Regulatory capital risk — stricter capital requirements (CCAR, Basel) can force a dividend cut or a capital raise; the largest banks are most exposed because they're held to the tightest standards.
WUThe Western Union Company
Credit Services · $6.12 · beta 0.55
Why now
Credit Services · market cap $1.9b. Down 41% from 52-week high of $10.35 — deep drawdown territory. 14 sell-side analysts rate this an Underperform with a mean 1-yr target of $6.80 (implying +11% upside).
Moat
ROE 43% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 143% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash.
Risk
D/E 2.95 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Down 41% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Dividend payout 76% of earnings on a 14.9% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut.

Common questions
Is OMF or WU the better stock?
OMF scores higher: OMF 82.0, WU 76.0 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.
How are OMF and WU 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.
