NITO

We rate N2OFF, Inc. (NITO) as Avoid with a composite score of 36.1/100 at a current price of $0.86. The stock falls in the bottom quintile of our universe across key quantitative factors, and the multi-factor weakness suggests a high probability of continued underperformance.

The rating is primarily driven by strength in momentum (67th percentile) and value (36th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in stability (5th percentile) and quality (19th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a No Moat rating (22/100), High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation.

Key items to watch: whether strong momentum is fundamentally supported by revenue trends. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.

N2OFF, Inc. holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 36.1/100 places it at rank #3998 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $4M in market capitalization, N2OFF, Inc. is a small-cap player in the Manufacturing space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.

Despite positive momentum (67th percentile), revenue contraction of -88% creates a divergence between price action and fundamental trajectory. This divergence suggests either that the market is looking through near-term weakness or that technical factors are temporarily inflating the stock. Investors should assess whether the revenue decline reflects cyclical weakness or structural challenges.

The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 39% (-3.1pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of -33619% (-33620.2pp vs sector) and net margins of 8297.7%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of 21063%. This efficient conversion suggests well-controlled operating costs and limited margin leakage between the gross and net levels.

At a current price of $0.86, N2OFF, Inc. is trading at a premium to fundamental value. Our value factor score of 36/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. The premium valuation implies the market is pricing in significant future growth or quality improvements that are not yet fully reflected in current fundamentals.

The stock currently trades at a P/E of 2.0x (a 91% discount to the sector median of 22.3x), EV/EBITDA of 2.6x (discounted to peers), P/B of 0.3x, P/S of 315.4x. The below-sector P/E suggests possible undervaluation or the market pricing in near-term headwinds.

We assign a High uncertainty rating to N2OFF, Inc.. Key risk factors include elevated market sensitivity (beta of 5.11), below-average price stability (5th percentile), weak quality scores (19th percentile). The wide range of potential outcomes widens our fair value estimate and increases the possibility of permanent capital impairment. Investors considering this name should size positions accordingly and demand a meaningful margin of safety before initiating.

Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 5.11); below-average price stability (5th percentile); weak quality scores (19th percentile). Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 5th percentile and quality factor at the 19th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.

Key risk mitigants include: conservative leverage (27% D/E) limits balance sheet risk. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile warrants caution and disciplined position management.

We rate N2OFF, Inc.'s capital allocation as Poor. Key concerns include low returns on equity (-88.8%), weak asset returns (ROA -69.9%). Exemplary capital allocators generate ROE above 20% and maintain conservative leverage — N2OFF, Inc. significantly underperforms these benchmarks, raising questions about management's ability to create shareholder value.

Investors should scrutinize management's reinvestment decisions and balance sheet trajectory before committing capital. Poor capital allocation often compounds over time: overlevered balance sheets limit strategic flexibility, while low returns on capital destroy shareholder value. We would need to see sustained improvement in profitability metrics and balance sheet discipline before considering an upgrade.

In summary, N2OFF, Inc. receives a Avoid rating with a composite score of 36.1/100 (rank #3998 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a No Moat (22/100, trend: stable), High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 32/100.

Our analysis does not support a constructive view on N2OFF, Inc. at this time. The combination of limited competitive advantages, high uncertainty, and poor capital allocation suggests unfavorable risk-reward at current levels. We recommend investors avoid new positions and existing holders consider reducing exposure.
