ATI INC represents a buy based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
ATI INC receives a Buy rating with a composite score of 66.7/100 and 4 out of 5 stars, ranking #202 of 7,333 stocks in our universe. ATI displays a favorable combination of factors that positions it above the majority of the market. While not without risk, the quantitative profile supports a constructive outlook.
With a quality score of 62/100, ATI shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 21.1% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 21.5% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 9.1% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
ATI carries a solid value score of 70/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 53.33x, an EV/EBITDA of 35.24x, a P/B ratio of 11.26x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
With an investment score of 45/100, ATI exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 2.8% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 7.9% (sector: 0.9%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
ATI shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 87/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 2.8% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.51 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
With a stability score of 63/100, ATI exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.51 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 166.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
The short interest score of 48/100 for ATI suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.51), elevated leverage (D/E: 166.00x). With a $11.4B market cap (large-cap), ATI INC may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
ATI INC is a large-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #202 of 7,333 overall (97th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 21.1% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 13.7% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
