Genasys Inc. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags Genasys Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 37.5/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3837 of 7,333 stocks, GNSS falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
GNSS's quality score of 41/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -1079.2% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 40.6% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -76.6% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
GNSS registers a value score of just 23/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 42.56x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
Genasys Inc.'s investment score of 28/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 71.8% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -36.6% (sector: 0.9%). 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.
GNSS is currently showing below-average momentum at 32/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 71.8% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.01 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.
With a stability score of 55/100, GNSS exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.01 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 2847.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
The short interest score of 52/100 for GNSS suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 2847.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $78M market cap (micro-cap), Genasys Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Genasys Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3837 of 7,333 overall (48th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -1079.2% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -77.7% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While GNSS currently exhibits a AVOID 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.
