Phaos Technology (Cayman) Holdings Ltd represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags Phaos Technology (Cayman) Holdings Ltd with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 33.7/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4238 of 7,333 stocks, POAS falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
POAS's quality score of 38/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports gross margins of 22.1% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -3063.1% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
POAS registers a value score of just 20/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
POAS shows a solid investment score of 61/100, reflecting measured but productive capital allocation. Key growth metrics include a return on assets of -1062.5% (sector: 0.9%). This suggests the company is investing at an appropriate level to sustain growth without overextending its balance sheet.
Phaos Technology (Cayman) Holdings Ltd is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 20/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth data is not currently available, while a beta of -1.24 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. While deep momentum weakness can occasionally present value opportunities, it often reflects deteriorating fundamentals or structural headwinds that may persist.
POAS's stability score of 32/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of -1.24. Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 52/100 for POAS suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $0 market cap (micro-cap), Phaos Technology (Cayman) Holdings Ltd may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Phaos Technology (Cayman) Holdings Ltd is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4238 of 7,333 overall (42nd percentile). Key comparisons include operating margins of -3148.3% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While POAS currently exhibits a AVOID 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.
