Quality Analysis
TIM S.A.'s quality score of 86/100 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 7.0% trails the sector median of 12.0%. Gross margins of 53.3% reflect strong pricing power and competitive moats. Operating margins of 21.6% sit above the 15.0% sector average.
Net margins of 12.4% show the company is profitable, though not with exceptional efficiency.
Valuation Assessment
A value score of 91/100 puts TIMB in the top 9 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 11.1x, an EV/EBITDA of 3.8x, a price-to-book of 0.9x, a price-to-sales of 1.4x. 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 78/100 shows TIMB 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 -16.2% is declining, which makes the momentum signal more precarious. A beta of 0.37 means TIM S.A. 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 TIM S.A.'s rating may become headwinds if the macro environment shifts — for example, if interest rates move sharply or if sector rotation accelerates.
Bottom Line
TIM S.A. earns a Buy rating with a composite score of 73/100 and 4 out of 5 stars, ranking #38 among 7,333 stocks. The factor profile is constructive — not without blemishes, but with enough quantitative support to position TIMB above the majority of the market.
