Seven criteria, each scored 0 to 100 on a published scale, weighted into one number.

26% of the score, 28% here after data gaps
Cognex Corporation is valued at 46.4x its operating profit, including debt: past the 25 times where this criterion gives nothing.
18% of the score, 20% here after data gaps
Over 7 years the business earned 11% a year after tax on the capital it uses.
16% of the score, 17% here after data gaps
Over 6 years yearly profit fell by 15 cents for every dollar earned. New capital earned -83%, and 18% of profit went back into the business.
14% of the score, 15% here after data gaps
How management spends the money: shares bought back or issued, and whether assets grow faster than the business they serve.
12% of the score, 13% here after data gaps
Today's operating margin of 22% is 1.02x its normal 21%: close to its usual level. Normal is half the 10 year median, half the last four years, so a margin that has held is not taken for a peak.
Taken out: its 8% is shared by the others
No debt or interest figures on file.
6% of the score, 7% here after data gaps
Whether the reported profit arrives as cash, and whether the accounts show the usual signs of stretching.
Each criterion earns 0 to 100 points on the scale drawn under it, and the RyuScore is their average weighted 26, 18, 16, 14, 12, 8 and 6. Scales bend in the company's favour between their ends, so an ordinary figure is never already near zero. For CGNX, balance sheet could not be measured from the filings, so it is taken out and the remaining weights scale up.
Built from the company's annual and quarterly filings with the SEC and today's share price. Banks, insurers and property trusts are not scored: their debt is their raw material, so these yardsticks mean something else there. Figures as of 2026-07-05, latest annual report FY2025.
