AUDIOCODES LTD represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns AUDIOCODES LTD a Hold rating, with a composite score of 55.1/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1257 of 7,333 stocks, AUDC 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.
AUDC earns a quality score of 84/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 31.9% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 65.3% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 6.3% (sector avg: 1.0%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
AUDC carries a solid value score of 87/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 13.94x, an EV/EBITDA of 1.68x, a P/B ratio of 1.08x. 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 55/100, AUDC exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -0.9% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 18.2% (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.
AUDIOCODES LTD is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 21/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at -0.9% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.40 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. While deep momentum weakness can occasionally present value opportunities, it often reflects deteriorating fundamentals or structural headwinds that may persist.
With a stability score of 58/100, AUDC exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.40 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.00x (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 40/100 for AUDC suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.40), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $292M market cap (micro-cap), AUDIOCODES LTD may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
AUDC pays a solid dividend yield of 3.8%, contributing an income component to total returns. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
AUDIOCODES LTD is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1257 of 7,333 overall (83rd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 31.9% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 7.1% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While AUDC currently exhibits a HOLD 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.
