BRT Apartments Corp. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags BRT Apartments Corp. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 36.3/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3979 of 7,333 stocks, BRT falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
BRT's quality score of 30/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -5.3% (sector avg: 9.0%), gross margins of 54.5% (sector avg: 77.7%), net margins of -10.3% (sector avg: 21.9%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 32/100, BRT appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 19.41x, a P/B ratio of 1.49x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
With an investment score of 48/100, BRT exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 2.4% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of -1.4% (sector: 1.3%). 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.
BRT Apartments Corp. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 25/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at 2.4% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.51 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.
BRT shows good financial stability with a score of 67/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.51 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 283.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
BRT Apartments Corp.'s short interest score of 29/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 283.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. At $296M (micro-cap), BRT carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
BRT Apartments Corp. offers an attractive dividend yield of 6.4%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 2.0%. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
BRT Apartments Corp. is a micro-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3979 of 7,333 overall (46th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -5.3% trailing the 9.0% sector median and operating margins of -12.2% below the 18.1% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While BRT currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
