DIODES INC /DEL/ represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns DIODES INC /DEL/ a Hold rating, with a composite score of 55.5/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1202 of 7,333 stocks, DIOD 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.
With a quality score of 52/100, DIOD shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 3.7% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 31.9% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 4.9% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
DIOD's value score of 66/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 43.60x, an EV/EBITDA of 71.74x, a P/B ratio of 1.62x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
With an investment score of 42/100, DIOD exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 22.6% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 2.9% (sector: 0.9%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
DIOD demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 60/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 22.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.69 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.
DIOD's stability score of 44/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.69 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 43/100 for DIOD suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.69). With a $2.5B market cap (mid-cap), DIODES INC /DEL/ may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
DIODES INC /DEL/ is a mid-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1202 of 7,333 overall (84th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 3.7% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 3.0% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While DIOD currently exhibits a HOLD 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.
