Our uncertainty rating tracks the predictability of future cash flows and potential for permanent capital loss. Moderate visibility with standard industry cyclicality.
Hub Cyber Security Ltd. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 49.2/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2124 out of 7,333 stocks. HUBC's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
With a quality score of 48/100, HUBC shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 59.3% (sector avg: -2.5%), gross margins of 17.1% (sector avg: 42.5%), net margins of -132.0% (sector avg: -0.2%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
HUBC registers a value score of just 17/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
With an investment score of 56/100, HUBC exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -30.7% vs. a sector average of 5.9% and a return on assets of -569.5% (sector: -0.1%). 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.
HUBC shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 71/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at -30.7% year-over-year, while a beta of 3.14 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
Hub Cyber Security Ltd. registers a low stability score of 7/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 3.14. Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
HUBC's short interest factor score of 87/100 indicates very low short selling activity relative to peers — a positive signal suggesting institutional investors see limited near-term downside. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 3.14), micro-cap liquidity risk. As a micro-cap company with a market capitalization of $21M, Hub Cyber Security Ltd. benefits from the generally lower volatility and deeper liquidity associated with its size class.
Hub Cyber Security Ltd. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2124 of 7,333 overall (71st percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 59.3% exceeding the -2.5% sector median and operating margins of -88.7% below the 1.3% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While HUBC currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF DEC 31, 2024 (Q3 FY2024)
We rate Hub Cyber Security Ltd. (HUBC) as a Reduce with a composite score of 49.2/100 at a current price of $1.58. The quantitative profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting limited upside potential and elevated risk of underperformance relative to peers over the next 12 months.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in momentum (71th percentile) and investment (56th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in stability (7th percentile) and value (17th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a No Moat rating (9/100), Very High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation.
Key items to watch: whether strong momentum is fundamentally supported by revenue trends; the path to profitability; valuation compression risk if growth disappoints. 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.
Hub Cyber Security Ltd. holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 49.2/100 places it at rank #2124 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $21M in market capitalization, Hub Cyber Security Ltd. is a small-cap player in the Manufacturing space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
Despite positive momentum (71th percentile), revenue contraction of -31% creates a divergence between price action and fundamental trajectory. This divergence suggests either that the market is looking through near-term weakness or that technical factors are temporarily inflating the stock. Investors should assess whether the revenue decline reflects cyclical weakness or structural challenges.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 17% (-25.4pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of -89% (-90.0pp vs sector) and net margins of -132.0%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of -773%. The significant margin erosion from gross to net suggests elevated operating expenses, high interest costs, or other structural drags that warrant monitoring.
At a current price of $1.58, Hub Cyber Security Ltd. is trading at a premium to fundamental value. Our value factor score of 17/100 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 premium valuation implies the market is pricing in significant future growth or quality improvements that are not yet fully reflected in current fundamentals.
The stock currently trades at P/S of 0.0x. We evaluate these multiples in the context of both absolute levels and sector-relative positioning to form our valuation view.
Returns on equity of 59.3% exceed the cost of equity for most companies, indicating genuine shareholder value creation and a reinvestment engine that compounds wealth over time.
Positive momentum (71th percentile) indicates institutional accumulation and favorable technical dynamics that tend to persist in the intermediate term.
The Reduce rating (composite 49.2/100) reflects multi-factor weakness, and historically, stocks in this scoring range have underperformed the market by a meaningful margin.
Revenue decline of -31% signals business deterioration — declining revenues make it difficult to grow into the current valuation and often precede further negative revisions.
Thin net margins of -132.0% provide limited cushion against cost pressures, competitive pricing, or macroeconomic headwinds — even small changes in costs could swing the company to a loss.
We assign a Very High uncertainty rating to Hub Cyber Security Ltd.. The stock exhibits multiple compounding risk factors: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 3.14), current negative profitability (net margin -132.0%), below-average price stability (7th percentile). The extreme uncertainty around future cash flows makes precise valuation difficult, and the range of outcomes is exceptionally wide. Only investors with high risk tolerance and extended time horizons should consider this name.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 3.14); current negative profitability (net margin -132.0%); below-average price stability (7th 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 7th percentile and quality factor at the 48th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
We identify limited risk mitigants at this time, which contributes to our very high uncertainty assessment. Investors should monitor for improvement in balance sheet metrics, margin stability, and business predictability that could warrant a downgrade in our risk assessment over time.
We rate Hub Cyber Security Ltd.'s capital allocation as Poor. Key concerns include negative profitability, weak asset returns (ROA -569.5%). Exemplary capital allocators generate ROE above 20% and maintain conservative leverage — Hub Cyber Security Ltd. significantly underperforms these benchmarks, raising questions about management's ability to create shareholder value.
Investors should scrutinize management's reinvestment decisions and balance sheet trajectory before committing capital. Poor capital allocation often compounds over time: overlevered balance sheets limit strategic flexibility, while low returns on capital destroy shareholder value. We would need to see sustained improvement in profitability metrics and balance sheet discipline before considering an upgrade.
In summary, Hub Cyber Security Ltd. receives a Reduce rating with a composite score of 49.2/100 (rank #2124 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a No Moat (9/100, trend: stable), Very High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 40/100.
Our analysis does not support a constructive view on Hub Cyber Security Ltd. at this time. The combination of limited competitive advantages, very high uncertainty, and poor capital allocation suggests unfavorable risk-reward at current levels. We recommend investors avoid new positions and existing holders consider reducing exposure.
Analysis derived from Blank Capital Research quantitative terminal. For informational purposes only. No trade solicitation. Past performance not indicative of future results. Consult a qualified advisor.
We do not assign Hub Cyber Security Ltd. a meaningful economic moat, scoring 9/100 on our composite assessment. The ROIC-WACC spread of -83.1% is the primary signal of economic value creation. Current fundamentals do not demonstrate the kind of durable competitive advantages — such as superior returns on invested capital, margin superiority, or reinvestment efficiency — that would protect the company from competitive erosion over the long term. The highest-scoring pillar, reinvestment efficiency, reached only 3.2/20.
The strongest moat sources are reinvestment efficiency (3.2/20) and economic value creation (2.5/20). Capital turnover 0.84x, R&D intensity 6.8%. ROIC -58.8% vs WACC 24.3% (spread -83.1%). These pillars form the core of Hub Cyber Security Ltd.'s competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include financial resilience (0/20) and margin superiority (0.9/20). Interest coverage -2.1x. 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 Hub Cyber Security Ltd.'s moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include declining revenues (-31%) that pressure the earnings outlook, returns on equity of 59.3% driving shareholder value creation. The margin cascade from 17% gross to -89% operating to -132.0% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that profit quality is adequate though not exceptional, with the quality factor at the 48th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 17%, operating margins of -89%, net margins of -132.0%. Return metrics include ROE of 59.3% and ROA of -569.5%. Relative to the Manufacturing sector, gross margins are 25.4 percentage points below the sector median of 43%, and ROE of 59.3% compares to a sector median of -2.5%.
The balance sheet reflects revenue growth of -31%. Overall balance sheet health is adequate for the current business environment.
High beta of 3.14 means amplified losses in market selloffs — in a broad market correction, this stock would likely decline more than the index.
Elevated short interest (87th percentile) indicates that sophisticated market participants are betting against the stock.
