A2Z CUST2MATE SOLUTIONS CORP. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags A2Z CUST2MATE SOLUTIONS CORP. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 36.2/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3990 of 7,333 stocks, AZ falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
AZ's quality score of 43/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -593.5% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 27.7% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -268.8% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
AZ registers a value score of just 17/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 17.83x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
A2Z CUST2MATE SOLUTIONS CORP.'s investment score of 23/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -37.0% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -408.2% (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.
AZ is currently showing below-average momentum at 32/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at -37.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.33 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
With a stability score of 56/100, AZ exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.33 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 11.00x (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.
A2Z CUST2MATE SOLUTIONS CORP.'s short interest score of 37/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.33), elevated leverage (D/E: 11.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. At $102M (micro-cap), AZ carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
A2Z CUST2MATE SOLUTIONS CORP. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3990 of 7,333 overall (46th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -593.5% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -204.2% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While AZ currently exhibits a AVOID 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.
