AMTD Digital Inc. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns AMTD Digital Inc. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 51.5/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1778 of 7,333 stocks, HKD 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.
HKD earns a quality score of 79/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 1865.0% (sector avg: 8.9%), gross margins of 100.0% (sector avg: 76.5%), net margins of 92.2% (sector avg: 21.5%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
HKD carries a solid value score of 74/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 2.91x, an EV/EBITDA of 3.12x, a P/B ratio of 28.25x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
With an investment score of 49/100, HKD exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include a return on assets of 68.5% (sector: 1.2%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
AMTD Digital Inc. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 22/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth data is not currently available, while a beta of 1.18 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. While deep momentum weakness can occasionally present value opportunities, it often reflects deteriorating fundamentals or structural headwinds that may persist.
AMTD Digital Inc. registers a low stability score of 12/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.18 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 451.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
AMTD Digital Inc.'s short interest score of 36/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 451.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. At $242M (micro-cap), HKD carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
AMTD Digital Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1778 of 7,333 overall (76th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 1865.0% exceeding the 8.9% sector median and operating margins of 39.6% above the 17.0% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While HKD 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.
