CID Holdco, Inc. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags CID Holdco, Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 34.3/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4185 of 7,333 stocks, DAIC falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
DAIC's quality score of 41/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports gross margins of 37.3% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -541.6% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 39/100, DAIC appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
CID Holdco, Inc.'s investment score of 22/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 853.6% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -226.5% (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.
CID Holdco, 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 853.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.33 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.
CID Holdco, Inc. registers a low stability score of 21/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.33. Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
DAIC carries a short interest score of 74/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.33), micro-cap liquidity risk. At $70M market cap (micro-cap), CID Holdco, Inc. offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
CID Holdco, Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4185 of 7,333 overall (43rd percentile). Key comparisons include operating margins of -541.6% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While DAIC 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.
