Addus HomeCare Corp represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Addus HomeCare Corp a Hold rating, with a composite score of 54.2/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1373 of 7,333 stocks, ADUS 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 47/100, ADUS shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 8.2% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 32.1% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of 6.5% (sector avg: 2.8%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
ADUS's value score of 53/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 24.74x, an EV/EBITDA of 16.56x, a P/B ratio of 2.03x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
Addus HomeCare Corp's investment score of 22/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 26.3% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of 6.1% (sector: 2.4%). 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.
ADUS demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 66/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 26.3% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.46 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
Addus HomeCare Corp earns an excellent stability score of 90/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.46 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 14.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Stocks with this level of stability tend to act as portfolio anchors, providing downside protection during market corrections while still participating in broad market advances.
Addus HomeCare Corp's short interest score of 29/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 14.00x). At $2.2B (mid-cap), ADUS carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
Addus HomeCare Corp is a mid-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1373 of 7,333 overall (81st percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 8.2% exceeding the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of 9.1% above the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While ADUS currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
