Allbirds, Inc. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags Allbirds, Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 28.7/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4608 of 7,333 stocks, BIRD falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
BIRD's quality score of 43/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -151.9% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 43.3% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -54.5% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
BIRD registers a value score of just 10/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 0.50x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
Allbirds, Inc.'s investment score of 34/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -36.0% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -65.8% (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.
Allbirds, Inc. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 11/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at -36.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.92 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.
BIRD's stability score of 31/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.92 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 24.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
Allbirds, Inc.'s short interest score of 15/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.92), elevated leverage (D/E: 24.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. At $46M (micro-cap), BIRD carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
Allbirds, Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4608 of 7,333 overall (37th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -151.9% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -55.9% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While BIRD 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.
