ProFrac Holding Corp. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags ProFrac Holding Corp. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 37.5/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3840 of 7,333 stocks, ACDC falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
ACDC's quality score of 31/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -26.7% (sector avg: 4.3%), gross margins of 20.0% (sector avg: 45.8%), net margins of -13.4% (sector avg: 5.8%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 39/100, ACDC appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 5.33x, a P/B ratio of 1.01x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
ProFrac Holding Corp.'s investment score of 34/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -30.4% vs. a sector average of 0.1% and a return on assets of -9.3% (sector: 3.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
ACDC is currently showing below-average momentum at 32/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at -30.4% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.10 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
ProFrac Holding Corp. registers a low stability score of 15/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.10 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 95.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
ProFrac Holding Corp.'s short interest score of 35/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 2.10), elevated leverage (D/E: 95.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $593M (small-cap), ACDC carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
ProFrac Holding Corp. is a small-cap company in the Mining sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3840 of 7,333 overall (48th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -26.7% trailing the 4.3% sector median and operating margins of -7.1% below the 7.6% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Mining peers.
While ACDC currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the MINING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
