ESH Acquisition Corp. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags ESH Acquisition Corp. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 37.7/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3811 of 7,333 stocks, ESHA falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
ESH Acquisition Corp. registers a weak quality score of just 24/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of -2.2% (sector avg: 9.0%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
With a value score of 34/100, ESHA 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.
ESH Acquisition Corp.'s investment score of 25/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include a return on assets of -11.6% (sector: 1.3%). 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.
ESHA is currently showing below-average momentum at 30/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth data is not currently available, while a beta of -0.32 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.
ESHA's stability score of 40/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of -0.32. Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
ESHA's short interest factor score of 85/100 indicates very low short selling activity relative to peers — a positive signal suggesting institutional investors see limited near-term downside. Specific risk factors include micro-cap liquidity risk. As a micro-cap company with a market capitalization of $44M, ESH Acquisition Corp. benefits from the generally lower volatility and deeper liquidity associated with its size class.
ESH Acquisition Corp. is a micro-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3811 of 7,333 overall (48th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -2.2% trailing the 9.0% sector median. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While ESHA currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
