PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 33.5/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4257 of 7,333 stocks, MYPS falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
With a quality score of 50/100, MYPS shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -7.5% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 76.0% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of -7.4% (sector avg: 2.8%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
With a value score of 35/100, MYPS appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 0.25x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc.'s investment score of 35/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -20.6% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of -6.0% (sector: 2.4%). 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.
PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 14/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at -20.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.74 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.
With a stability score of 47/100, MYPS exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.74 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 25.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc.'s short interest score of 12/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 25.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. At $121M (micro-cap), MYPS carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4257 of 7,333 overall (42nd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -7.5% trailing the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of -7.6% below the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While MYPS currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
