DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 46.6/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2553 out of 7,333 stocks. DV'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, DV shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 3.7% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 82.1% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of 5.5% (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.
DV's value score of 59/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 39.09x, an EV/EBITDA of 12.78x, a P/B ratio of 1.44x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc.'s investment score of 39/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 21.0% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of 3.0% (sector: 2.4%). 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.
DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 28/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at 21.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.85 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.
With a stability score of 58/100, DV exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.85 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 20.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
The short interest score of 44/100 for DV suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 20.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $2.0B market cap (small-cap), DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. is a small-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2553 of 7,333 overall (65th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 3.7% trailing the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of 9.4% above the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While DV 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.
