The Quality factor evaluates the persistence and magnitude of realized cash flows. Companies with scores >70 exhibit superior pricing power and structural financial resilience through diverse economic regimes.
Our uncertainty rating tracks the predictability of future cash flows and potential for permanent capital loss. Moderate visibility with standard industry cyclicality.
Our model assigns QuantaSing Group Ltd a Hold rating, with a composite score of 59.9/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #702 of 7,333 stocks, HERE 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.
QuantaSing Group Ltd scores an outstanding 87/100 on our quality factor, placing it among the highest-quality companies in our coverage universe. The company reports a return on equity of 176.3% (sector avg: 5.3%), gross margins of 81.5% (sector avg: 59.6%), net margins of 13.1% (sector avg: 2.3%). This level of profitability and capital efficiency typically reflects a durable competitive advantage and disciplined management.
HERE carries a solid value score of 78/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 13.49x, an EV/EBITDA of 0.44x, a P/B ratio of 2.02x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
QuantaSing Group Ltd's investment score of 31/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -27.2% vs. a sector average of 7.8% and a return on assets of 85.8% (sector: 1.9%). 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.
HERE demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 59/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at -27.2% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.21 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.
HERE's stability score of 31/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.21 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 53/100 for HERE suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.21), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $1.6B market cap (small-cap), QuantaSing Group Ltd may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
HERE pays a solid dividend yield of 2.1%, contributing an income component to total returns. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
QuantaSing Group Ltd is a small-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #702 of 7,333 overall (90th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 176.3% exceeding the 5.3% sector median and operating margins of 14.6% above the 3.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While HERE currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF JUN 30, 2025 (Q1 FY2025)
We rate QuantaSing Group Ltd (HERE) as a Hold with a composite score of 59.9/100 at a current price of $4.55. The stock presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to warrant new accumulation nor weak enough to justify selling for existing holders. Our factors are split, and the overall profile suggests patience is warranted.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in quality (87th percentile) and value (78th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in investment (31th percentile) and stability (31th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a Narrow Moat rating (57/100), Medium uncertainty, and Exemplary capital allocation.
Key items to watch: quarterly earnings execution and sector-level competitive dynamics. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
QuantaSing Group Ltd holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Services sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 59.9/100 places it at rank #702 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $1.6B in market capitalization, QuantaSing Group Ltd is a small-cap player in the Services space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
Revenue contraction of -27% combined with momentum at the 59th percentile paints a cautious picture of the near-term business outlook. The market appears to be pricing in continued challenges, and a catalyst for reversal is not clearly visible from current data.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 82% (+22.0pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of 15% (+11.1pp vs sector) and net margins of 13.1%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of 16%. This conversion rate is typical for the sector, suggesting a standard cost structure without notable efficiency advantages or disadvantages.
At a current price of $4.55, QuantaSing Group Ltd appears undervalued relative to its fundamentals. Our value factor score of 78/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. The stock screens as attractively priced on a majority of these measures, suggesting the market may be underappreciating the underlying fundamentals.
The stock currently trades at a P/E of 13.5x (a 43% discount to the sector median of 23.7x), EV/EBITDA of 0.4x (discounted to peers), P/B of 2.0x, P/S of 0.1x. The below-sector P/E suggests possible undervaluation or the market pricing in near-term headwinds.
Gross margins of 82% signal strong pricing power and brand/IP advantages — businesses with margins above 40% have historically demonstrated more resilient earnings through economic cycles.
Returns on equity of 176.3% exceed the cost of equity for most companies, indicating genuine shareholder value creation and a reinvestment engine that compounds wealth over time.
A value factor score of 78/100 suggests the market is underpricing these fundamentals, creating a potential margin of safety for new investors.
A conservative balance sheet (1% D/E) provides financial flexibility for acquisitions, buybacks, or weathering economic downturns without dilution.
A 2.13% dividend yield provides income while you wait, and dividends historically account for a significant portion of total equity returns.
We assign a Medium uncertainty rating to QuantaSing Group Ltd. The stock presents a balanced risk profile: below-average price stability (31th percentile). While not risk-free, the core business fundamentals are adequate to withstand moderate economic stress, and the range of potential outcomes around our fair value estimate is manageable.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: below-average price stability (31th percentile). Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 31th percentile and quality factor at the 87th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
Key risk mitigants include: healthy gross margins of 82% provide a buffer against cost pressures; conservative leverage (1% D/E) limits balance sheet risk; a 2.13% dividend yield anchors total return. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile is favorable for long-term investors.
We rate QuantaSing Group Ltd's capital allocation as Exemplary. Management demonstrates a strong track record of balancing reinvestment with shareholder returns, evidenced by returns on equity of 176.3%, disciplined leverage (1% D/E), a 2.13% dividend yield. Exemplary allocators typically generate returns on equity above 20% while maintaining debt-to-equity below 50% — QuantaSing Group Ltd meets this high bar.
The balance sheet remains conservatively managed, providing financial flexibility for opportunistic investments while maintaining a margin of safety for shareholders. The company returns capital via a 2.13% dividend yield, and the combination of 85.8% return on assets and controlled leverage suggests management is deploying capital at rates well above the cost of capital — the hallmark of exemplary stewardship.
In summary, QuantaSing Group Ltd receives a Hold rating with a composite score of 59.9/100 (rank #702 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a Narrow Moat (57/100, trend: stable), Medium uncertainty, and Exemplary capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 57/100.
Our analysis supports a neutral stance on QuantaSing Group Ltd. While the quantitative profile is not weak enough to warrant selling, it lacks the multi-factor strength required for a buy recommendation. Existing holders should maintain positions and monitor for catalysts — either fundamental improvement or valuation compression — that would shift the risk-reward balance.

We assign QuantaSing Group Ltd a Narrow Moat rating with a composite moat score of 57/100. The company possesses identifiable competitive advantages, though they are less entrenched than those of wide-moat peers. Our analysis indicates that QuantaSing Group Ltd can sustain above-average returns on invested capital for at least 10 years, with the strongest contributor being economic value creation at 17.5/20.
The strongest moat sources are economic value creation (17.5/20) and margin superiority (17.5/20). ROE proxy 176.3% (sector 5.3%). GM 82% vs sector 60%, OM 15% vs sector 4%. These pillars form the core of QuantaSing Group Ltd's competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (1.3/20) and financial resilience (10.3/20). Capital turnover N/A, R&D intensity 3.6%. Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect QuantaSing Group Ltd's moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include gross margins of 82% providing a solid profitability foundation, operating margins of 15% reflecting effective cost management, declining revenues (-27%) that pressure the earnings outlook. The margin cascade from 82% gross to 15% operating to 13.1% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that the profit engine is high-quality and likely sustainable, with the quality factor at the 87th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 82%, operating margins of 15%, net margins of 13.1%. Return metrics include ROE of 176.3% and ROA of 85.8%. Relative to the Services sector, gross margins are 22.0 percentage points above the sector median of 60%, and ROE of 176.3% compares to a sector median of 5.3%.
The balance sheet reflects a conservatively managed balance sheet with D/E of 1%, a dividend yield of 2.13%, revenue growth of -27%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting QuantaSing Group Ltd at higher leverage than the typical peer. The combination of low leverage and healthy profitability provides significant financial resilience and strategic optionality.
Revenue decline of -27% signals business deterioration — declining revenues make it difficult to grow into the current valuation and often precede further negative revisions.

As the U.S. market navigates a holiday-shortened week with major stock indexes closing lower, investors are keeping a close eye on small-cap stocks within the S&P 600, which can often provide unique opportunities amid broader market fluctuations. In this environment, identifying promising stocks involves looking beyond the headlines to find companies with solid fundamentals and growth potential that may be overlooked in the current climate.
