QVC INC represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
QVC INC receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 40.8/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3443 out of 7,333 stocks. QVCD's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
With a quality score of 46/100, QVCD shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports gross margins of 33.6% (sector avg: 37.3%), net margins of 0.6% (sector avg: 2.4%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
QVCD registers a value score of just 25/100, 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.
QVC INC's investment score of 33/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -5.3% vs. a sector average of 3.7%. 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.
QVC INC is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 23/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at -5.3% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.44 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.
QVCD shows good financial stability with a score of 71/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.44 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 430.00x (sector avg: 0.7x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
The short interest score of 54/100 for QVCD suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 430.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $0 market cap (micro-cap), QVC INC may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
QVC INC is a micro-cap company in the Retail Trade sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3443 of 7,333 overall (53rd percentile). Key comparisons include operating margins of 4.6% above the 4.4% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Retail Trade peers.
While QVCD currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the RETAIL TRADE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
