Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 27.4/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4672 of 7,333 stocks, MAXN falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. registers a weak quality score of just 23/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports gross margins of -49.0% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -120.7% (sector avg: 1.0%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
MAXN registers a value score of just 4/100, 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.
MAXN shows a solid investment score of 61/100, reflecting measured but productive capital allocation. Key growth metrics include a return on assets of -653.3% (sector: 0.9%). This suggests the company is investing at an appropriate level to sustain growth without overextending its balance sheet.
Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 15/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth data is not currently available, while a beta of 1.69 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.
MAXN's stability score of 27/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.69. Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 53/100 for MAXN suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.69), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $0 market cap (micro-cap), Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4672 of 7,333 overall (36th percentile). Key comparisons include operating margins of -113.3% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While MAXN 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.
