StoneX Group Inc. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags StoneX Group Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 39.3/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3621 of 7,333 stocks, SNEX falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
StoneX Group Inc. registers a weak quality score of just 21/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of 14.2% (sector avg: 8.9%), gross margins of 3.1% (sector avg: 76.5%), net margins of 0.3% (sector avg: 21.5%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
SNEX registers a value score of just 29/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 18.79x, an EV/EBITDA of 22.02x, a P/B ratio of 2.68x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
StoneX Group Inc.'s investment score of 21/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 39.7% vs. a sector average of 10.8% and a return on assets of 0.8% (sector: 1.2%). 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.
SNEX demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 57/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 39.7% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.89 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
SNEX's stability score of 25/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.89 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 1795.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
StoneX Group Inc.'s short interest score of 34/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 1795.00x). At $5.0B (mid-cap), SNEX carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
StoneX Group Inc. is a mid-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3621 of 7,333 overall (51st percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 14.2% exceeding the 8.9% sector median and operating margins of 0.1% below the 17.0% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While SNEX currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
