FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 41.0/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3411 out of 7,333 stocks. FCRS'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.
FCRS's quality score of 35/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 30/100, FCRS 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.
FutureCrest Acquisition Corp.'s investment score of 35/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include a return on assets of -0.1% (sector: 1.2%). 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.
FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 26/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth data is not currently available, while a beta of 0.10 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.
FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. earns an excellent stability score of 92/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.10. Stocks with this level of stability tend to act as portfolio anchors, providing downside protection during market corrections while still participating in broad market advances.
The short interest score of 49/100 for FCRS suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $250M market cap (micro-cap), FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
FutureCrest 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 #3411 of 7,333 overall (53rd percentile). This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While FCRS currently exhibits a REDUCE 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.

AUDIT DATA AS OF SEP 30, 2025 (Q2 FY2025)
We rate FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. (FCRS) as a Reduce with a composite score of 41.0/100 at a current price of $10.05. The quantitative profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting limited upside potential and elevated risk of underperformance relative to peers over the next 12 months.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in stability (92th percentile) and quality (35th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in momentum (26th percentile) and value (30th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a No Moat rating (25/100), Low uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation.
Key items to watch: momentum to confirm whether the current price trend has legs; valuation compression risk if growth disappoints. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 41.0/100 places it at rank #3411 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $250M in market capitalization, FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. is a small-cap player in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
Momentum indicators (26th percentile) suggest caution regarding the near-term price trend. Revenue growth data is unavailable, limiting our ability to confirm whether momentum is fundamentally supported.
Margin data is not available for FutureCrest Acquisition Corp., which limits our assessment of the company's cost structure and operating efficiency. We rely on factor-based signals to infer business quality in the absence of detailed margin data.
At a current price of $10.05, FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. is trading at a premium to fundamental value. Our value factor score of 30/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. The premium valuation implies the market is pricing in significant future growth or quality improvements that are not yet fully reflected in current fundamentals.
Valuation multiples are not available for this company, which limits our ability to assess relative pricing. We rely more heavily on factor-based valuation signals in such cases.
The stock may offer contrarian value if near-term headwinds prove transitory — the current weakness in factor scores may reverse if business fundamentals stabilize.
The Reduce rating (composite 41.0/100) reflects multi-factor weakness, and historically, stocks in this scoring range have underperformed the market by a meaningful margin.
Weak momentum (26th percentile) suggests institutional selling pressure and unfavorable technical dynamics that may persist.
Below-average quality (35th percentile) raises durability concerns about the fundamental profile and increases the risk of negative earnings surprises.
We assign a Low uncertainty rating to FutureCrest Acquisition Corp.. The company exhibits strong financial stability with a beta of 0.10, and a stability factor in the 92th percentile. The predictable nature of the business model and solid financial position reduce the range of potential outcomes, giving us confidence in our fair value estimate.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: weak quality scores (35th percentile); low beta of 0.10 — while defensive, this may indicate limited upside participation in bull markets. Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 92th percentile and quality factor at the 35th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
Key risk mitigants include: above-average stability (92th percentile) suggests predictable business dynamics. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile is favorable for long-term investors.
We rate FutureCrest Acquisition Corp.'s capital allocation as Poor. Key concerns include weak asset returns (ROA -0.1%). Exemplary capital allocators generate ROE above 20% and maintain conservative leverage — FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. significantly underperforms these benchmarks, raising questions about management's ability to create shareholder value.
Investors should scrutinize management's reinvestment decisions and balance sheet trajectory before committing capital. Poor capital allocation often compounds over time: overlevered balance sheets limit strategic flexibility, while low returns on capital destroy shareholder value. We would need to see sustained improvement in profitability metrics and balance sheet discipline before considering an upgrade.
In summary, FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. receives a Reduce rating with a composite score of 41.0/100 (rank #3411 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a No Moat (25/100, trend: stable), Low uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 44/100.
Our analysis does not support a constructive view on FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. at this time. The combination of limited competitive advantages, low uncertainty, and poor capital allocation suggests unfavorable risk-reward at current levels. We recommend investors avoid new positions and existing holders consider reducing exposure.
Analysis derived from Blank Capital Research quantitative terminal. For informational purposes only. No trade solicitation. Past performance not indicative of future results. Consult a qualified advisor.
We do not assign FutureCrest Acquisition Corp. a meaningful economic moat, scoring 25/100 on our composite assessment. Current fundamentals do not demonstrate the kind of durable competitive advantages — such as superior returns on invested capital, margin superiority, or reinvestment efficiency — that would protect the company from competitive erosion over the long term. The highest-scoring pillar, margin superiority, reached only 10/20.
The strongest moat sources are margin superiority (10/20) and growth durability (7/20). GM N/A vs sector 77%, OM N/A vs sector 17%. Rev growth N/A. These pillars form the core of FutureCrest Acquisition Corp.'s competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (0/20) and financial resilience (2.5/20). Capital turnover N/A. Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect FutureCrest Acquisition Corp.'s moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers are not clearly identifiable from current fundamentals. This may reflect a company in transition, a cyclical downturn, or structural challenges in the business model. We assign a quality factor of 35/100 which further underscores our concern regarding earnings sustainability.
Return metrics include ROA of -0.1%. Relative to the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, sector comparison data is limited.
Balance sheet data is limited, restricting our assessment of financial resilience. Investors should seek additional disclosure on leverage and liquidity before forming a complete view of financial health.
