Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 46.2/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2605 out of 7,333 stocks. NRGV'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.
NRGV's quality score of 34/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -135.9% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 38.5% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -739.7% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 38/100, NRGV appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 6.21x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
Energy Vault Holdings, Inc.'s investment score of 21/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 783.8% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -38.9% (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.
NRGV shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 80/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 783.8% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.19 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. registers a low stability score of 19/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.19 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 75.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
NRGV carries a short interest score of 68/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 2.19), elevated leverage (D/E: 75.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $481M market cap (small-cap), Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2605 of 7,333 overall (64th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -135.9% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -721.6% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While NRGV 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.
