Viant Technology Inc. represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Viant Technology Inc. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 44.6/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2877 out of 7,333 stocks. DSP's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
With a quality score of 55/100, DSP shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 3.9% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 45.0% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of 2.9% (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.
DSP's value score of 61/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 15.70x, an EV/EBITDA of 46.30x, a P/B ratio of 0.61x. 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, DSP exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 29.9% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of 2.5% (sector: 2.4%). 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.
DSP is currently showing below-average momentum at 40/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 29.9% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.62 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
DSP's stability score of 37/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.62 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 53.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
Viant Technology Inc.'s short interest score of 26/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.62), elevated leverage (D/E: 53.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $543M (small-cap), DSP carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
Viant Technology Inc. is a small-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2877 of 7,333 overall (61st percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 3.9% trailing the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of 0.8% below the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While DSP currently exhibits a REDUCE 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.
