Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 54.4/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1346 of 7,333 stocks, PZG 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.
PZG's quality score of 32/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -47.1% (sector avg: 4.3%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 36/100, PZG appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 6.62x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
Paramount Gold Nevada Corp.'s investment score of 36/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -100.0% vs. a sector average of 0.1% and a return on assets of -24.9% (sector: 3.9%). 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.
Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (PZG) is exhibiting exceptional momentum with a score of 96/100, placing it among the strongest trending stocks in the market. Revenue growth stands at -100.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.14 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Stocks with momentum scores this high have historically outperformed over the following 3–12 months, suggesting PZG may continue to benefit from strong institutional interest and positive price trends.
With a stability score of 49/100, PZG exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.14 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 89.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). 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 51/100 for PZG suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 89.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $95M market cap (micro-cap), Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. is a micro-cap company in the Mining sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1346 of 7,333 overall (82nd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -47.1% trailing the 4.3% sector median. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Mining peers.
While PZG currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MINING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
