Our six-factor quantitative model, which ranks 7,333 publicly traded U.S. companies on quality, value, momentum, investment efficiency, financial stability, and short interest positioning, assigns MEXICAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INC a Strong Buy rating with a composite score of 75/100 — placing it at rank #9 in the entire universe.
What makes this rating noteworthy is not any single exceptional factor, but the breadth of strength across the profile. MEXICAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INC's dominant factor is value at 99/100, followed closely by stability at 94/100. Even the weakest factor, investment efficiency at 51/100, sits comfortably above average.
At $29.7 billion, MEXICAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INC operates in the Manufacturing sector where it ranks 4th out of 50 stocks — the 92nd percentile among its peers. With revenue growing 11.2% year-over-year, the fundamental trajectory supports the quantitative signal.
Six-Factor Scorecard
Our model evaluates every U.S. stock across six independently measured dimensions. Each score represents a percentile rank — a score of 80 means the stock ranks higher than 80 percent of all companies on that factor.
Key Financial Metrics
Quality Analysis
MEXICAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INC's quality score of 83/100 places it among the top profitability performers in the market. The quality factor evaluates margins, return on equity, return on assets, and earnings consistency — the fundamental building blocks of a durable business.
Return on equity of 21.2% exceeds the sector median of -2.0%. Gross margins of 41.1% are competitive for the sector. Operating margins of 9.0% sit above the 3.0% sector average.
Net margins of 10.3% show the company is profitable, though not with exceptional efficiency.
Valuation Assessment
A value score of 99/100 puts FMX in the top 1 percent of all stocks on cheapness — suggesting the market is significantly underpricing the company's fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 0.4x, an EV/EBITDA of 1.3x, a price-to-book of 0.1x, a price-to-sales of 0.0x. Deep value scores like this historically correlate with above-average forward returns, though they can also reflect legitimate concerns about business quality that the value factor does not capture.
Momentum & Timing
A momentum score of 63/100 shows FMX is trending above average, with its stock price outperforming the majority of the market. This is not explosive, meme-stock-style momentum — it is the gradual, fundamental-driven kind that tends to persist.
Revenue growth of 11.2% provides a moderate fundamental underpinning. A beta of 0.42 means MEXICAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INC moves with less volatility than the market, which can be attractive for risk-conscious investors.
Our entry timing model currently signals Neutral, which warrants caution despite the price trend.
Risk Factors
No investment comes without risks, and honest analysis requires flagging them clearly:
- Model limitations. Quantitative models measure what is measurable — financial ratios, price trends, leverage — but cannot capture qualitative factors like management quality, competitive positioning, or pending litigation. This analysis should be supplemented with fundamental due diligence.
- Market regime risk. Factor-based strategies perform differently across market regimes. The current factor exposures that support MEXICAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INC's rating may become headwinds if the macro environment shifts — for example, if interest rates move sharply or if sector rotation accelerates.
Bottom Line
MEXICAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INC earns a Strong Buy rating with a composite score of 75/100 and 5 out of 5 stars, ranking #9 out of 7,333 stocks. The quantitative profile is among the strongest in the market — not because of any single factor, but because of consistent strength across multiple dimensions.
Stocks with this multi-factor profile have historically delivered above-average risk-adjusted returns over three to twelve month horizons. Whether that pattern holds for FMX specifically is, of course, uncertain — quantitative models identify probabilities, not certainties.
