IDT CORP represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns IDT CORP a Hold rating, with a composite score of 54.9/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1288 of 7,333 stocks, IDT 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.
IDT earns a quality score of 78/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 23.6% (sector avg: 11.9%), gross margins of 35.8% (sector avg: 52.6%), net margins of 6.1% (sector avg: 7.7%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
IDT's value score of 62/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 16.45x, an EV/EBITDA of 8.96x, a P/B ratio of 3.88x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
With an investment score of 44/100, IDT exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 9.0% vs. a sector average of 4.2% and a return on assets of 11.6% (sector: 3.2%). 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.
IDT CORP is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 27/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at 9.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.62 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.
With a stability score of 56/100, IDT exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.62 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.00x (sector avg: 1.3x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
IDT carries a short interest score of 66/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include small-cap liquidity risk. At $1.3B market cap (small-cap), IDT CORP offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
IDT offers a modest dividend yield of 0.4%. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 1.4%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
IDT CORP is a small-cap company in the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1288 of 7,333 overall (82nd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 23.6% exceeding the 11.9% sector median and operating margins of 7.9% below the 14.8% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services peers.
While IDT currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRIC, GAS, AND SANITARY SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
