Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 29.88x, an EV/EBITDA of 18.15x, a P/B ratio of 1.14x.

Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 18.6% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 2.5% (sector: 0.9%).

The short interest score of 44/100 for MOV suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 50.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $403M market cap (small-cap), MOVADO GROUP INC may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
MOVADO GROUP INC offers an attractive dividend yield of 9.6%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group.
