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 BeyondSpring Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 35.6/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4044 of 7,333 stocks, BYSI falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
BYSI's quality score of 31/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 66.5% (sector avg: -2.5%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
BYSI's value score of 53/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
BeyondSpring Inc.'s investment score of 25/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include a return on assets of -67.1% (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.
BeyondSpring Inc. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 28/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth data is not currently available, while a beta of 0.54 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.
With a stability score of 50/100, BYSI exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.54. 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.
BeyondSpring Inc.'s short interest score of 27/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include micro-cap liquidity risk. At $73M (micro-cap), BYSI carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
BeyondSpring Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4044 of 7,333 overall (45th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 66.5% exceeding the -2.5% sector median. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While BYSI 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 BeyondSpring Inc. (BYSI) as Avoid with a composite score of 35.6/100 at a current price of $1.34. 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 (53th percentile) and stability (50th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in investment (25th percentile) and momentum (28th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a No Moat rating (39/100), Low uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation.
Key items to watch: momentum to confirm whether the current price trend has legs. 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.
BeyondSpring Inc. 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 35.6/100 places it at rank #4044 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $73M in market capitalization, BeyondSpring Inc. is a small-cap player in the Manufacturing space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
Momentum indicators (28th percentile) suggest caution regarding the near-term price trend. Revenue growth data is unavailable, limiting our ability to confirm whether momentum is fundamentally supported.
Margin data is not available for BeyondSpring Inc., which limits our assessment of the company's cost structure and operating efficiency. We rely on factor-based signals to infer business quality in the absence of detailed margin data.
At a current price of $1.34, BeyondSpring Inc. is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 53/100 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.
Valuation multiples are not available for this company, which limits our ability to assess relative pricing. We rely more heavily on factor-based valuation signals in such cases.
Returns on equity of 66.5% exceed the cost of equity for most companies, indicating genuine shareholder value creation and a reinvestment engine that compounds wealth over time.
The Avoid rating (composite 35.6/100) reflects multi-factor weakness, and historically, stocks in this scoring range have underperformed the market by a meaningful margin.
Weak momentum (28th percentile) suggests institutional selling pressure and unfavorable technical dynamics that may persist.
Below-average quality (31th percentile) raises durability concerns about the fundamental profile and increases the risk of negative earnings surprises.
We assign a Low uncertainty rating to BeyondSpring Inc.. The company exhibits strong financial stability with a beta of 0.54, and a stability factor in the 50th percentile. The predictable nature of the business model and solid financial position reduce the range of potential outcomes, giving us confidence in our fair value estimate.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: weak quality scores (31th percentile); low beta of 0.54 — while defensive, this may indicate limited upside participation in bull markets. 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 50th percentile and quality factor at the 31th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
We identify limited risk mitigants at this time, which contributes to our low 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 BeyondSpring Inc.'s capital allocation as Poor. Key concerns include weak asset returns (ROA -67.1%). Exemplary capital allocators generate ROE above 20% and maintain conservative leverage — BeyondSpring Inc. 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, BeyondSpring Inc. receives a Avoid rating with a composite score of 35.6/100 (rank #4044 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a No Moat (39/100, trend: stable), Low uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 37/100.
Our analysis does not support a constructive view on BeyondSpring Inc. at this time. The combination of limited competitive advantages, low 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 BeyondSpring Inc. a meaningful economic moat, scoring 39/100 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, economic value creation, reached only 17.5/20.
The strongest moat sources are economic value creation (17.5/20) and margin superiority (12.5/20). ROE proxy 66.5% (sector -2.5%). GM N/A vs sector 43%, OM N/A vs sector 1%. These pillars form the core of BeyondSpring Inc.'s competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (0/20) and financial resilience (0.5/20). 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 BeyondSpring Inc.'s moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include returns on equity of 66.5% driving shareholder value creation. Our analysis indicates that profit quality raises some durability concerns, with the quality factor at the 31th percentile.
Return metrics include ROE of 66.5% and ROA of -67.1%. Relative to the Manufacturing sector, sector comparison data is limited, and ROE of 66.5% compares to a sector median of -2.5%.
Balance sheet data is limited, restricting our assessment of financial resilience. Investors should seek additional disclosure on leverage and liquidity before forming a complete view of financial health.
