Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust a Hold rating, with a composite score of 51.7/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1737 of 7,333 stocks, FXE presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
FXE's quality score of 43/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports gross margins of 100.0% (sector avg: 77.7%), net margins of 73.6% (sector avg: 21.9%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
FXE registers a value score of just 25/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 572.74x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust's investment score of 20/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 20.7% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of 0.7% (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.
FXE demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 53/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 20.7% year-over-year, while a beta of -0.07 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust earns an excellent stability score of 94/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of -0.07. 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.
FXE'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 $0, Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust benefits from the generally lower volatility and deeper liquidity associated with its size class.
Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust is a micro-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1737 of 7,333 overall (76th percentile). Key comparisons include operating margins of 73.6% above the 18.1% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While FXE currently exhibits a HOLD 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.

The President of the European Central Bank (ECB) Christine Lagarde has expressed skepticism regarding the idea that two consecutive quarters of negative growth could signify the onset of a recession for the European economy, challenging the conventional economic definition. Addressing questions following the ECB’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged for the third consecutive meeting, Lagarde attempted to quell market pressures about the start of interest rate cuts in Europe. “The euro area economy likely experienced stagnation in the last quarter of 2023,” Lagarde stated in her opening remarks on Thursday, emphasizing that short-term data continues to indicate economic fragility. The European economy currently finds itself in a significantly different situation compared to the American economy. Negative growth was already recorded in the third quarter of the year, and any further negative readings in the fourth quarter would indeed signal the beginning of a recession.
