Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 32.7/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4318 of 7,333 stocks, GWAV falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. registers a weak quality score of just 20/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of -18.6% (sector avg: 8.6%), gross margins of 34.4% (sector avg: 27.4%), net margins of -18.0% (sector avg: 1.4%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
GWAV registers a value score of just 4/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 0.08x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc.'s investment score of 30/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 29.3% vs. a sector average of 3.6% and a return on assets of -11.0% (sector: 3.4%). 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.
GWAV demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 54/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 29.3% year-over-year, while a beta of -14.97 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.
GWAV's stability score of 33/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of -14.97 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 17.00x (sector avg: 0.6x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 49/100 for GWAV suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 17.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $5M market cap (micro-cap), Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Wholesale Trade sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4318 of 7,333 overall (41st percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -18.6% trailing the 8.6% sector median and operating margins of -65.3% below the 3.4% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Wholesale Trade peers.
While GWAV currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the WHOLESALE TRADE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
