CONDUENT Inc represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags CONDUENT Inc with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 35.0/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4110 of 7,333 stocks, CNDT falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
CNDT's quality score of 34/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -2.0% (sector avg: 5.3%), gross margins of 18.1% (sector avg: 59.6%), net margins of -0.7% (sector avg: 2.3%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 47/100, CNDT appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 9.11x, a P/B ratio of 0.36x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
CONDUENT Inc's investment score of 33/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -7.4% vs. a sector average of 7.8% and a return on assets of -0.6% (sector: 1.9%). 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.
CONDUENT Inc is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 23/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at -7.4% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.07 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.
CNDT's stability score of 42/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.07 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 229.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 51/100 for CNDT suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 229.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $442M market cap (small-cap), CONDUENT Inc may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
CONDUENT Inc is a small-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4110 of 7,333 overall (44th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -2.0% trailing the 5.3% sector median and operating margins of 0.6% below the 3.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While CNDT currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
