Executive Summary

Our quantitative model flags Cango Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 34.3/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4188 of 7,333 stocks, CANG falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.

Business Quality

With a quality score of 46/100, CANG shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 29.3% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 21.8% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of 37.3% (sector avg: 2.8%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.

Intrinsic Valuation

CANG carries a solid value score of 73/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 10.13x, an EV/EBITDA of 1.07x, a P/B ratio of 0.57x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.

Capital Reinvestment

Cango Inc.'s investment score of 29/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -54.0% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of 20.1% (sector: 2.4%). 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.

Market Momentum

Cango Inc. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 4/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at -54.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.00 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.
