Microvast Holdings, Inc. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags Microvast Holdings, Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 36.8/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3930 of 7,333 stocks, MVST falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
Microvast Holdings, Inc. registers a weak quality score of just 24/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of -9.1% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 35.6% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -12.8% (sector avg: 1.0%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
With a value score of 41/100, MVST appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 13.91x, a P/B ratio of 2.05x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
Microvast Holdings, Inc.'s investment score of 37/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 47.3% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -3.2% (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.
MVST is currently showing below-average momentum at 43/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 47.3% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.29 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
MVST's stability score of 37/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.29 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 10.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 45/100 for MVST suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.29), elevated leverage (D/E: 10.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $1.3B market cap (small-cap), Microvast Holdings, Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Microvast Holdings, Inc. is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3930 of 7,333 overall (46th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -9.1% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 12.9% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While MVST 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.
