Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4 represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4 receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 43.7/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3016 out of 7,333 stocks. HYAC'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.
HYAC's quality score of 26/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 3.7% (sector avg: 8.9%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
HYAC registers a value score of just 28/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 43.86x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4's investment score of 35/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include a return on assets of 3.6% (sector: 1.2%). 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.
HYAC is currently showing below-average momentum at 35/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth data is not currently available, while a beta of -0.01 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.
Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4 earns an excellent stability score of 96/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of -0.01. Stocks with this level of stability tend to act as portfolio anchors, providing downside protection during market corrections while still participating in broad market advances.
The short interest score of 58/100 for HYAC suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include small-cap liquidity risk. With a $331M market cap (small-cap), Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4 may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4 is a small-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3016 of 7,333 overall (59th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 3.7% trailing the 8.9% sector median. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While HYAC currently exhibits a REDUCE 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.
