ProShares Trust II represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
ProShares Trust II receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 43.7/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3018 out of 7,333 stocks. AGQ's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
ProShares Trust II registers a weak quality score of just 23/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of 14.7% (sector avg: 8.9%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
AGQ registers a value score of just 25/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
ProShares Trust II's investment score of 20/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include a return on assets of 14.3% (sector: 1.2%). 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.
ProShares Trust II (AGQ) is exhibiting exceptional momentum with a score of 99/100, placing it among the strongest trending stocks in the market. Revenue growth data is not currently available, while a beta of 0.89 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Stocks with momentum scores this high have historically outperformed over the following 3–12 months, suggesting AGQ may continue to benefit from strong institutional interest and positive price trends.
ProShares Trust II registers a low stability score of 9/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.89 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
AGQ's short interest factor score of 86/100 indicates very low short selling activity relative to peers — a positive signal suggesting institutional investors see limited near-term downside. Specific risk factors include micro-cap liquidity risk. As a micro-cap company with a market capitalization of $0, ProShares Trust II benefits from the generally lower volatility and deeper liquidity associated with its size class.
ProShares Trust II is a micro-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3018 of 7,333 overall (59th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 14.7% exceeding the 8.9% sector median. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While AGQ currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
