Fluence Energy, Inc. represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Fluence Energy, Inc. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 48.0/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2327 out of 7,333 stocks. FLNC'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 48/100, FLNC shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -19.8% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 11.7% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -5.4% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
With a value score of 39/100, FLNC appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 44.34x, an EV/EBITDA of 13.93x, a P/B ratio of 4.49x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
With an investment score of 49/100, FLNC exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -23.7% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -4.3% (sector: 0.9%). 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.
FLNC shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 75/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at -23.7% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.23 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
Fluence Energy, Inc. registers a low stability score of 16/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.23 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 365.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
The short interest score of 51/100 for FLNC suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 2.23), elevated leverage (D/E: 365.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $1.2B market cap (small-cap), Fluence Energy, Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Fluence Energy, Inc. is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2327 of 7,333 overall (68th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -19.8% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -5.5% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While FLNC currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
