CLEANSPARK, INC. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns CLEANSPARK, INC. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 50.6/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1910 of 7,333 stocks, CLSK presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
CLSK earns a quality score of 75/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -36.1% (sector avg: 9.0%), gross margins of 52.9% (sector avg: 77.7%), net margins of -96.0% (sector avg: 21.9%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
CLSK carries a solid value score of 75/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 2.07x, a P/B ratio of 1.79x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
CLEANSPARK, INC.'s investment score of 29/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 62.1% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of -15.0% (sector: 1.3%). 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.
CLSK demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 50/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 62.1% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.21 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
CLEANSPARK, INC. registers a low stability score of 7/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.21 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 129.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
The short interest score of 56/100 for CLSK suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 2.21), elevated leverage (D/E: 129.00x). With a $3.1B market cap (mid-cap), CLEANSPARK, INC. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
CLEANSPARK, INC. is a mid-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1910 of 7,333 overall (74th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -36.1% trailing the 9.0% sector median and operating margins of -91.5% below the 18.1% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While CLSK currently exhibits a HOLD 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.
