Polar Power, Inc. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags Polar Power, Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 26.8/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4702 of 7,333 stocks, POLA falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
Polar Power, Inc. registers a weak quality score of just 16/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of -193.5% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 49.2% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -34.1% (sector avg: 1.0%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
With a value score of 32/100, POLA appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 1.41x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
Polar Power, Inc.'s investment score of 36/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -148.5% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -45.4% (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.
Polar Power, Inc. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 21/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at -148.5% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.53 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.
POLA's stability score of 40/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.53 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 326.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 49/100 for POLA suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 326.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $8M market cap (micro-cap), Polar Power, Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Polar Power, Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4702 of 7,333 overall (36th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -193.5% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -25.0% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While POLA 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.
