HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 29.2/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4570 of 7,333 stocks, HIVE falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. registers a weak quality score of just 13/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of -2.7% (sector avg: 9.0%), gross margins of -34.1% (sector avg: 77.7%), net margins of -2.6% (sector avg: 21.9%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
With a value score of 31/100, HIVE appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 1.90x, a P/B ratio of 1.18x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd.'s investment score of 24/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 0.7% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of -2.3% (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.
HIVE is currently showing below-average momentum at 43/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 0.7% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.29 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.
HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. registers a low stability score of 8/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.29 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 4.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
The short interest score of 59/100 for HIVE suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 2.29), elevated leverage (D/E: 4.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $186M market cap (micro-cap), HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. is a micro-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4570 of 7,333 overall (38th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -2.7% trailing the 9.0% sector median and operating margins of -45.6% below the 18.1% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While HIVE currently exhibits a AVOID 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.
