Aeluma, Inc. represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Aeluma, Inc. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 41.7/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3321 out of 7,333 stocks. ALMU'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.
ALMU's quality score of 39/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -8.3% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 48.4% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -61.2% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 48/100, ALMU appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 6.91x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
Aeluma, Inc.'s investment score of 31/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -21.1% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -7.9% (sector: 0.9%). 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.
ALMU demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 65/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at -21.1% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.49 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.
ALMU's stability score of 29/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.49 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 4.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
Aeluma, Inc.'s short interest score of 26/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.49), elevated leverage (D/E: 4.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. At $260M (micro-cap), ALMU carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
Aeluma, Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3321 of 7,333 overall (55th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -8.3% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -115.5% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While ALMU currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
