Innovative Eyewear Inc represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags Innovative Eyewear Inc with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 29.1/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4579 of 7,333 stocks, LUCY falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
LUCY's quality score of 30/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -72.6% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 26.6% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -427.1% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
LUCY registers a value score of just 6/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 0.59x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
Innovative Eyewear Inc's investment score of 37/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 116.5% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -66.6% (sector: 0.9%). 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.
Innovative Eyewear Inc is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 9/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at 116.5% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.64 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.
LUCY's stability score of 31/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.64 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 9.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
LUCY's short interest factor score of 88/100 indicates very low short selling activity relative to peers — a positive signal suggesting institutional investors see limited near-term downside. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 9.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. As a micro-cap company with a market capitalization of $9M, Innovative Eyewear Inc benefits from the generally lower volatility and deeper liquidity associated with its size class.
Innovative Eyewear Inc is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4579 of 7,333 overall (38th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -72.6% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -370.6% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While LUCY currently exhibits a AVOID 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.
