HOME BANCORP, INC. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns HOME BANCORP, INC. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 53.7/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1431 of 7,333 stocks, HBCP 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.
HBCP's quality score of 35/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 10.4% (sector avg: 9.0%), gross margins of 0.0% (sector avg: 77.7%), net margins of 24.8% (sector avg: 21.9%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
HBCP's value score of 67/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 11.02x, an EV/EBITDA of 8.52x, a P/B ratio of 1.15x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
HOME BANCORP, INC.'s investment score of 29/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 8.3% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of 1.3% (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.
HBCP shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 73/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 8.3% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.73 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
With a stability score of 55/100, HBCP exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.73 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 726.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). 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 56/100 for HBCP suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 726.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $423M market cap (small-cap), HOME BANCORP, INC. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
HBCP pays a solid dividend yield of 2.0%, contributing an income component to total returns. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 2.0%. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
HOME BANCORP, INC. is a small-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1431 of 7,333 overall (80th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 10.4% exceeding the 9.0% sector median and operating margins of 30.0% above the 18.1% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While HBCP 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.
