The Quality factor evaluates the persistence and magnitude of realized cash flows. Companies with scores >70 exhibit superior pricing power and structural financial resilience through diverse economic regimes.
Our uncertainty rating tracks the predictability of future cash flows and potential for permanent capital loss. Moderate visibility with standard industry cyclicality.
Our quantitative model flags Blink Charging Co. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 39.5/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3604 of 7,333 stocks, BLNK falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
With a quality score of 57/100, BLNK shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -154.4% (sector avg: -2.5%), gross margins of 28.7% (sector avg: 42.5%), net margins of -139.6% (sector avg: -0.2%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
BLNK's value score of 68/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 10.16x, a P/B ratio of 1.06x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
Blink Charging Co.'s investment score of 28/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -18.7% vs. a sector average of 5.9% and a return on assets of -81.8% (sector: -0.1%). 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.
Blink Charging Co. 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 -18.7% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.51 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.
BLNK's stability score of 32/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.51 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 89.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
Blink Charging Co.'s short interest score of 27/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.51), elevated leverage (D/E: 89.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. At $172M (micro-cap), BLNK carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
Blink Charging Co. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3604 of 7,333 overall (51st percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -154.4% trailing the -2.5% sector median and operating margins of -141.2% below the 1.3% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While BLNK 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.

AUDIT DATA AS OF SEP 30, 2025 (Q2 FY2025)
We rate Blink Charging Co. (BLNK) as Avoid with a composite score of 39.5/100 at a current price of $0.68. The stock falls in the bottom quintile of our universe across key quantitative factors, and the multi-factor weakness suggests a high probability of continued underperformance.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in value (68th percentile) and quality (57th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in momentum (21th percentile) and investment (28th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a No Moat rating (20/100), Very High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation.
Key items to watch: momentum to confirm whether the current price trend has legs; the path to profitability. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
Blink Charging Co. holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 39.5/100 places it at rank #3604 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $172M in market capitalization, Blink Charging Co. is a small-cap player in the Manufacturing space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
Revenue contraction of -19% combined with momentum at the 21th percentile paints a cautious picture of the near-term business outlook. The market appears to be pricing in continued challenges, and a catalyst for reversal is not clearly visible from current data.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 29% (-13.8pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of -141% (-142.5pp vs sector) and net margins of -139.6%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of -487%. The significant margin erosion from gross to net suggests elevated operating expenses, high interest costs, or other structural drags that warrant monitoring.
At a current price of $0.68, Blink Charging Co. is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 68/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. Valuation metrics are mixed, with no strong signal of mispricing in either direction.
The stock currently trades at EV/EBITDA of 10.2x (near the sector median), P/B of 1.1x, P/S of 0.9x. We evaluate these multiples in the context of both absolute levels and sector-relative positioning to form our valuation view.
A value factor score of 68/100 suggests the market is underpricing these fundamentals, creating a potential margin of safety for new investors.
The Avoid rating (composite 39.5/100) reflects multi-factor weakness, and historically, stocks in this scoring range have underperformed the market by a meaningful margin.
Revenue decline of -19% signals business deterioration — declining revenues make it difficult to grow into the current valuation and often precede further negative revisions.
Thin net margins of -139.6% provide limited cushion against cost pressures, competitive pricing, or macroeconomic headwinds — even small changes in costs could swing the company to a loss.
Weak momentum (21th percentile) suggests institutional selling pressure and unfavorable technical dynamics that may persist.
We assign a Very High uncertainty rating to Blink Charging Co.. The stock exhibits multiple compounding risk factors: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 1.51), current negative profitability (net margin -139.6%), below-average price stability (32th percentile). The extreme uncertainty around future cash flows makes precise valuation difficult, and the range of outcomes is exceptionally wide. Only investors with high risk tolerance and extended time horizons should consider this name.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 1.51); current negative profitability (net margin -139.6%); below-average price stability (32th percentile); the combination of leverage (89% D/E) and thin margins (-139.6% net) amplifies downside risk. Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 32th percentile and quality factor at the 57th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
We identify limited risk mitigants at this time, which contributes to our very high uncertainty assessment. Investors should monitor for improvement in balance sheet metrics, margin stability, and business predictability that could warrant a downgrade in our risk assessment over time.
We rate Blink Charging Co.'s capital allocation as Poor. Key concerns include low returns on equity (-154.4%), negative profitability, weak asset returns (ROA -81.8%). Exemplary capital allocators generate ROE above 20% and maintain conservative leverage — Blink Charging Co. significantly underperforms these benchmarks, raising questions about management's ability to create shareholder value.
Investors should scrutinize management's reinvestment decisions and balance sheet trajectory before committing capital. Poor capital allocation often compounds over time: overlevered balance sheets limit strategic flexibility, while low returns on capital destroy shareholder value. We would need to see sustained improvement in profitability metrics and balance sheet discipline before considering an upgrade.
In summary, Blink Charging Co. receives a Avoid rating with a composite score of 39.5/100 (rank #3604 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a No Moat (20/100, trend: stable), Very High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 41/100.
Our analysis does not support a constructive view on Blink Charging Co. at this time. The combination of limited competitive advantages, very high uncertainty, and poor capital allocation suggests unfavorable risk-reward at current levels. We recommend investors avoid new positions and existing holders consider reducing exposure.
Analysis derived from Blank Capital Research quantitative terminal. For informational purposes only. No trade solicitation. Past performance not indicative of future results. Consult a qualified advisor.
We do not assign Blink Charging Co. a meaningful economic moat, scoring 20/100 on our composite assessment. Current fundamentals do not demonstrate the kind of durable competitive advantages — such as superior returns on invested capital, margin superiority, or reinvestment efficiency — that would protect the company from competitive erosion over the long term. The highest-scoring pillar, financial resilience, reached only 8.7/20.
The strongest moat sources are financial resilience (8.7/20) and margin superiority (4.4/20). Interest coverage N/A, Net debt/EBITDA -9.6x. GM 29% vs sector 43%, OM -141% vs sector 1%. These pillars form the core of Blink Charging Co.'s competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (0/20) and economic value creation (2.5/20). Capital turnover N/A. Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect Blink Charging Co.'s moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include declining revenues (-19%) that pressure the earnings outlook. The margin cascade from 29% gross to -141% operating to -139.6% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that profit quality is adequate though not exceptional, with the quality factor at the 57th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 29%, operating margins of -141%, net margins of -139.6%. Return metrics include ROE of -154.4% and ROA of -81.8%. Relative to the Manufacturing sector, gross margins are 13.8 percentage points below the sector median of 43%, and ROE of -154.4% compares to a sector median of -2.5%.
The balance sheet reflects above-average leverage with D/E of 89%, revenue growth of -19%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting Blink Charging Co. at higher leverage than the typical peer. Overall balance sheet health is adequate for the current business environment.
High beta of 1.51 means amplified losses in market selloffs — in a broad market correction, this stock would likely decline more than the index.
