Adeia Inc. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Adeia Inc. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 55.0/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1275 of 7,333 stocks, ADEA presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 59/100, ADEA shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 13.7% (sector avg: 11.9%), gross margins of 100.0% (sector avg: 52.6%), net margins of 16.4% (sector avg: 7.7%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
With a value score of 46/100, ADEA appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 36.73x, an EV/EBITDA of 26.71x, a P/B ratio of 5.03x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
Adeia Inc.'s investment score of 30/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -0.0% vs. a sector average of 4.2% and a return on assets of 5.3% (sector: 3.2%). 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.
ADEA shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 72/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at -0.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.38 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
ADEA's stability score of 29/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.38 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 106.00x (sector avg: 1.3x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 55/100 for ADEA suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.38), elevated leverage (D/E: 106.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $1.8B market cap (small-cap), Adeia Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
ADEA offers a modest dividend yield of 1.2%. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 1.4%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
Adeia Inc. is a small-cap company in the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1275 of 7,333 overall (83rd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 13.7% exceeding the 11.9% sector median and operating margins of 27.2% above the 14.8% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services peers.
While ADEA currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRIC, GAS, AND SANITARY SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
