LTC PROPERTIES INC represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
LTC PROPERTIES INC receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 42.0/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3271 out of 7,333 stocks. LTC'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.
LTC PROPERTIES INC registers a weak quality score of just 24/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of 4.9% (sector avg: 9.0%), gross margins of 0.0% (sector avg: 77.7%), net margins of 25.3% (sector avg: 21.9%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
LTC registers a value score of just 21/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 36.27x, an EV/EBITDA of 18.95x, a P/B ratio of 1.77x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
LTC PROPERTIES INC's investment score of 28/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 38.3% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of 2.5% (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.
LTC demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 57/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 38.3% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.12 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
LTC PROPERTIES INC earns an excellent stability score of 86/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.12 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 90.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). 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.
LTC PROPERTIES INC's short interest score of 27/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 90.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $1.7B (small-cap), LTC carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
LTC PROPERTIES INC offers an attractive dividend yield of 6.2%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 2.0%. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
LTC PROPERTIES INC is a small-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3271 of 7,333 overall (55th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 4.9% trailing the 9.0% sector median and operating margins of 54.9% above the 18.1% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While LTC 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.
