Niu Technologies represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Niu Technologies receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 43.6/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3037 out of 7,333 stocks. NIU's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
NIU's quality score of 42/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -83.0% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 15.2% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -5.9% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
NIU registers a value score of just 14/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 2.13x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
Niu Technologies's investment score of 37/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 20.6% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -29.6% (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.
NIU is currently showing below-average momentum at 42/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 20.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.57 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.
With a stability score of 48/100, NIU exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.57 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 53.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). 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.
The short interest score of 51/100 for NIU suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.57), elevated leverage (D/E: 53.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $139M market cap (micro-cap), Niu Technologies may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Niu Technologies is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3037 of 7,333 overall (59th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -83.0% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -7.6% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While NIU currently exhibits a REDUCE 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.
