NetApp holds the cleaner structural position, with the lead spread across growth and valuation. On the market side, NetApp is in better shape — its trend is intact while Toast's trend has broken down. That puts structure and market broadly in agreement — NetApp's lead looks more confirmed than conflicted.
The comparison is based on similar long-term financial trajectories, not sector labels. Both peer scores are relative to the Russell 1000 universe, making them directly comparable.
The lead is spread across growth and valuation, rather than sitting in one isolated gap. NetApp, Inc. leads by 13 points on the overall comparison score.
Both operate in: Software - Infrastructure
This comparison is based on industry proximity, not on functional trajectory similarity. NTAP and TOST share the same industry classification.
For a similarity-based comparison, see how NetApp and Toast each position within their functional peer groups in AssetNext.
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.
NetApp, Inc. still looks stronger, and the price setup does not materially undermine that lead.
Valuation position uses peer-relative PE percentile (idx_pct_pe) where available.
Where NTAP and TOST each sit in their own 4.8-year price and valuation history.
Describes historical entry positioning only. Descriptive — not investment advice.
The main growth separation is clear, driven by a meaningfully stronger expansion profile.
Absolute pricing reinforces the lead rather than leaving the result tied to one dimension, with a trailing P/E that is 18.7 turns lower.
The lead is built on both growth and valuation, making it broader than a single-dimension result.

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.
