PTL Ltd holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Wholesale Trade sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 33.2/100 places it at rank #4287 in our full universe.

PTL Ltd represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags PTL Ltd with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 33.2/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4287 of 7,333 stocks, PTLE falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
With a quality score of 52/100, PTLE shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -3241.4% (sector avg: 8.6%), gross margins of 2.5% (sector avg: 27.4%), net margins of -5.1% (sector avg: 1.4%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
PTLE registers a value score of just 24/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 45.22x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
PTL Ltd's investment score of 32/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include a return on assets of -158.3% (sector: 3.4%). 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.
PTL Ltd is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 5/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth data is not currently available, while a beta of 0.43 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.
PTLE's stability score of 35/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.43 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.00x (sector avg: 0.6x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 50/100 for PTLE suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $0 market cap (micro-cap), PTL Ltd may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
PTL Ltd is a micro-cap company in the Wholesale Trade sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4287 of 7,333 overall (42nd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -3241.4% trailing the 8.6% sector median and operating margins of -4.9% below the 3.4% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Wholesale Trade peers.
While PTLE currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the WHOLESALE TRADE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
