Edible Garden AG Inc represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Edible Garden AG Inc receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 47.2/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2447 out of 7,333 stocks. EDBL'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.
Edible Garden AG Inc registers a weak quality score of just 18/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of -104.3% (sector avg: -2.4%), gross margins of 15.0% (sector avg: 18.2%), net margins of -118.6% (sector avg: -1.9%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
EDBL registers a value score of just 2/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 0.13x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
Edible Garden AG Inc's investment score of 21/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -34.0% vs. a sector average of -0.1% and a return on assets of -66.9% (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.
Edible Garden AG Inc (EDBL) is exhibiting exceptional momentum with a score of 94/100, placing it among the strongest trending stocks in the market. Revenue growth stands at -34.0% year-over-year, while a beta of -9.27 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Stocks with momentum scores this high have historically outperformed over the following 3–12 months, suggesting EDBL may continue to benefit from strong institutional interest and positive price trends.
EDBL's stability score of 29/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of -9.27 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 21.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
EDBL's short interest factor score of 86/100 indicates very low short selling activity relative to peers — a positive signal suggesting institutional investors see limited near-term downside. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 21.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. As a micro-cap company with a market capitalization of $5M, Edible Garden AG Inc benefits from the generally lower volatility and deeper liquidity associated with its size class.
Edible Garden AG Inc is a micro-cap company in the Agriculture, Forestry, And Fishing sector, ranked #12 of 17 in its sector (29th percentile) and #2447 of 7,333 overall (67th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -104.3% trailing the -2.4% sector median and operating margins of -101.5% below the -1.3% sector average. This below-median ranking suggests EDBL faces competitive challenges relative to stronger Agriculture, Forestry, And Fishing peers.
While EDBL currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY, AND FISHING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
