Executive Summary

RING ENERGY, INC. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 40.5/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3483 out of 7,333 stocks. REI'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.

Business Quality

REI's quality score of 30/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 1.4% (sector avg: 4.3%), gross margins of 66.0% (sector avg: 45.8%), net margins of 2.2% (sector avg: 5.8%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.

Intrinsic Valuation

REI registers a value score of just 15/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 23.85x, an EV/EBITDA of 13.83x, a P/B ratio of 0.34x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.

Capital Reinvestment

With an investment score of 48/100, REI exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -20.7% vs. a sector average of 0.1% and a return on assets of 0.8% (sector: 3.9%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.

Market Momentum

REI is currently showing below-average momentum at 34/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at -20.7% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.30 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.

Balance Sheet Health

REI's stability score of 39/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.30 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 69.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.

Institutional Risk Profile

The short interest score of 49/100 for REI suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.30), elevated leverage (D/E: 69.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $225M market cap (micro-cap), RING ENERGY, INC. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.

Sector Benchmark Analysis

RING ENERGY, INC. is a micro-cap company in the Mining sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3483 of 7,333 overall (53rd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 1.4% trailing the 4.3% sector median and operating margins of 5.0% below the 7.6% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Mining peers.
