GigCapital5, Inc. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns GigCapital5, Inc. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 50.0/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #2013 of 7,333 stocks, QTI 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.
With a quality score of 46/100, QTI shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 247.6% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 55.3% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -248.7% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
With a value score of 38/100, QTI appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
GigCapital5, Inc.'s investment score of 22/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 144.6% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -192.3% (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.
QTI shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 84/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 144.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.93 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
QTI's stability score of 38/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.93. Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 46/100 for QTI suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $68M market cap (micro-cap), GigCapital5, Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
GigCapital5, Inc. is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2013 of 7,333 overall (73rd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 247.6% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -87.1% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While QTI currently exhibits a HOLD 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.

QT Imaging Holdings (Nasdaq: QTI) has announced that the American Medical Association (AMA) CPT Editorial Panel has approved a new Category III CPT code for its 3D quantitative transmission volumetric ultrasound tomography of the breast. This code, X579T, is significant for the clinical and commercial advancement of QT Imaging's radiation-free and compression-free breast imaging technology. The code will be effective January 1, 2027, facilitating standardized reporting, data collection, and potential broader reimbursement for this emerging diagnostic service.

QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Gulf Medical Co. (GMC) in Saudi Arabia for its QTI Breast Acoustic CT™ scanners and subscriptions to the QTI Cloud Platform. This deal, valued at over $33 million, involves shipments of five scanners per quarter starting in Q1 2026 and aims to address the high incidence of breast cancer among younger women in the region. The technology offers non-invasive, 3D breast imaging without radiation, compression, or contrast, and includes AI-driven tools.

QT Imaging, a medical technology vendor, is facing potential delisting from the Nasdaq after its stock price plummeted nearly 95% to $0.60, falling below the required $1 minimum for 30 consecutive days and below $15 million in market value for 31 consecutive business days. The company, which recently underwent a merger and CEO change, reported a net loss of $1.2 million in Q2, with analysts predicting a sales decline and continued unprofitability for 2024. QT Imaging has until March 3 to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.

After significant delays and a lawsuit, ultrasound developer QT Imaging is finally proceeding with its merger deal with investment firm GigCapital. The agreement, originally discussed in December 2022, will see GigCapital take QT Imaging public, with shareholders recently approving the business combination. The firm specializes in whole-body and breast ultrasound technology, including the FDA-cleared QTSscan.
QT Imaging, a company known for its FDA-cleared, radiation-free mammography machine, is set to go public through a $151 million reverse merger with GigCapital5, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The new entity will be called QT Imaging Holdings with the stock symbol "QTI." The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2023, with proceeds intended to expand commercial activities and pursue additional regulatory clearances for its QTscan breast imaging device, which can also be adapted for full-body scans.
