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.

The companies
SHOOSteven Madden, Ltd.
Footwear & Accessories · $44.30 · beta 1.18
Why now
Footwear & Accessories · market cap $3.2b. 11% off the 52-week high of $49.70. Revenue growing +18%, comfortably above the S&P median. 10 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $52.40 (implying +18% upside).
Moat
ROE 15% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. FCF converts 157% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash.
Risk
Mature compounder — the risk is paying up for quality at a moment when growth is decelerating. Watch for sequential revenue + margin trends; the inflection from "compounder" to "ex-compounder" is hard to spot until the multiple already started compressing.
Furnishings, Fixtures & Appliances · market cap $14.3b. Down 37% from 52-week high of $98.56 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +27% — in hypergrowth territory. PEG 0.83 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 9 sell-side analysts publish a mean 1-yr target of $93.44 (implying +50% upside).
Moat
ROE 17% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. FCF converts 144% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash.
Risk
Down 37% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.

Common questions
Is SGI or SHOO the better stock?
SGI scores higher: SGI 68.5, SHOO 67.7 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.
How are SGI and SHOO 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.
