Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 45.6/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2704 out of 7,333 stocks. PLYM'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.
Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. registers a weak quality score of just 24/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of -8.5% (sector avg: 9.0%), net margins of -102.5% (sector avg: 21.9%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
PLYM registers a value score of just 29/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 8.56x, a P/B ratio of 2.12x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc.'s investment score of 35/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -0.9% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of -12.2% (sector: 1.3%). 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.
PLYM shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 75/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at -0.9% year-over-year. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
With a stability score of 48/100, PLYM exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a debt-to-equity ratio of 180.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). 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 57/100 for PLYM suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 180.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $995M market cap (small-cap), Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. offers an attractive dividend yield of 4.3%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 2.0%. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. is a small-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2704 of 7,333 overall (63rd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -8.5% trailing the 9.0% sector median. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
