Byrna Technologies Inc. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags Byrna Technologies Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 39.6/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3596 of 7,333 stocks, BYRN falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
BYRN earns a quality score of 72/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 11.2% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 61.2% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 6.9% (sector avg: 1.0%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
BYRN's value score of 52/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 38.53x, an EV/EBITDA of 32.50x, a P/B ratio of 4.31x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
Byrna Technologies Inc.'s investment score of 21/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 39.0% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 8.7% (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.
Byrna Technologies Inc. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 13/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at 39.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.35 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.
BYRN's stability score of 39/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.35 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 28.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
Byrna Technologies Inc.'s short interest score of 28/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.35), elevated leverage (D/E: 28.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $463M (small-cap), BYRN carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
Byrna Technologies Inc. is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3596 of 7,333 overall (51st percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 11.2% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 8.1% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While BYRN 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.
