PITNEY BOWES INC /DE/ represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns PITNEY BOWES INC /DE/ a Hold rating, with a composite score of 52.6/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1589 of 7,333 stocks, PBI presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 50/100, PBI shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -47.8% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 52.3% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -0.7% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
PBI carries a solid value score of 77/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 12.36x, an EV/EBITDA of 8.28x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
With an investment score of 43/100, PBI exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -6.1% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -0.7% (sector: 0.9%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
PBI is currently showing below-average momentum at 42/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at -6.1% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.05 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.
PBI shows good financial stability with a score of 69/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.05. This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
PITNEY BOWES INC /DE/'s short interest score of 27/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include small-cap liquidity risk. At $2.0B (small-cap), PBI carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
PBI pays a solid dividend yield of 2.7%, contributing an income component to total returns. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
PITNEY BOWES INC /DE/ is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1589 of 7,333 overall (78th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -47.8% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 18.3% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While PBI currently exhibits a HOLD 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.
