679 companies in the figures below, measured from their own filings. 62 of them score 70 or above.
Medians are computed across every materials company we cover with the relevant figure available, from the most recent filings. See the methodology for how each score is calculated.
US-listed materials companies that file with the SEC, from the statistics run of October 16, 2026. Each figure counts the value shown on every company's own pages, and a company is counted only when the numbers behind it matched its SEC filing. Compare the sectors: dividends and profitability.
Another price-taking, cyclical group where a single year is close to meaningless. Cost position matters more than margin in any given period: the lowest-cost producer survives troughs that wipe out competitors, and that shows up in returns on capital over a full cycle.
