Arcadis holds the cleaner structural position, with the lead spread across valuation and profitability. Cummins still has the edge on stability, which keeps the comparison from looking entirely one-sided. In the market, Cummins carries the stronger setup — intact trend against Arcadis's broken trend. That leaves a split case: the structural lead stays with Arcadis, but the market is not currently confirming it.
The comparison is based on similar long-term financial trajectories, not sector labels. Peer scores are normalised within each company's primary universe (ARCAD.AS: STOXX 600, CMI: Russell 1000).
The clearest separation starts in valuation, but profitability adds another real layer to the result. The overall score gap is 14 points in favour of Arcadis NV.
This comparison is anchored in long-term financial trajectory similarity within the selected peer universe.
The pair sits on a clearly comparable long-term path, though it is not a near-twin match.
The strongest overlap appears in recent revenue growth and capital structure.
Scores reflect position relative to comparable companies with similar long-term financial trajectories.
Score differences across key dimensions.
Left means cheaper relative valuation. Higher means stronger structure.
Structure stays fairly close here, while current pricing still looks more supportive for Arcadis NV.

The multiple-based pricing edge comes from a forward P/E that is 11.2 turns lower.
There is still a strong counterforce in stability, so the lead stays clear without becoming a sweep.

AssetNext scores reflect each company's structural position within its functional peer group — not a ranking against all stocks simultaneously. Peers are identified by similarity across eight financial dimensions, including revenue growth trajectory, margin structure, capital intensity, and earnings stability. A score of 75 means the company ranks in the top quartile within its own peer group, not the entire market.
Four dimension scores drive the overall peer score: Growth (revenue trajectory and expansion dynamics), Quality (margin structure and capital efficiency), Valuation (peer-relative pricing on standard multiples), and Stability (earnings consistency and financial predictability). Each dimension is scored 0–100 relative to the peer group, then combined into an overall peer score using equal weighting.
Because scores are peer-relative, the same company can have slightly different scores in different index universes. On comparison pages, both companies are shown within their shared peer universe wherever possible — so the scores are directly comparable. The peer basis is stated on each score card.
Scores are recalculated periodically as underlying financial data is updated. All analysis is descriptive and rule-based — AssetNext describes structural realities and never issues buy, sell or hold recommendations.
