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
SAROStandardAero, Inc.
Why now
Aerospace & Defense · market cap $8.3b. Down 27% from 52-week high of $34.48 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +13%, comfortably above the S&P median. PEG 0.69 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 14 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $35.81 (implying +43% upside).
Moat
ROE 12% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere.
Risk
Value re-rating depends on a catalyst. Without one — analyst day, divestiture, margin recovery, capital return — the stock can stay cheap on these multiples for years.
TXTTextron Inc.
Why now
Aerospace & Defense · market cap $14.3b. 18% off the 52-week high of $101.57. 15 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $102.07 (implying +23% upside).
Moat
ROE 12% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere.
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.
Verdict — model-derived comparison
SARO leads TXT by 0.6 points (71.2 to 70.6), its sharpest advantage coming in Rev (grade B+). A contrarian could still prefer TXT, which trades about 5% below our DCF fair value — a margin of safety the score doesn't reward. Note they play different roles — SARO screens as value, TXT screens as growth — so the model rewards different traits for each.
Our AI analyst is busy right now, so this verdict is drawn directly from the pillars, grades and DCF above.

Where SARO and TXT diverge
The two are effectively level on the headline score. 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.
