The company reports a return on equity of -2.3% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 31.2% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -1.2% (sector avg: 1.0%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
RFIL carries a solid value score of 79/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 937.00x, an EV/EBITDA of 34.04x, a P/B ratio of 2.85x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
R F INDUSTRIES LTD's investment score of 25/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 22.8% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -1.1% (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.
RFIL shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 80/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 22.8% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.79 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
With a stability score of 48/100, RFIL exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.79 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 107.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). 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.
RFIL's short interest factor score of 88/100 indicates very low short selling activity relative to peers — a positive signal suggesting institutional investors see limited near-term downside. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 107.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. As a micro-cap company with a market capitalization of $88M, R F INDUSTRIES LTD benefits from the generally lower volatility and deeper liquidity associated with its size class.
R F INDUSTRIES LTD is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #218 of 7,333 overall (97th percentile).
