Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. represents a buy based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. receives a Buy rating with a composite score of 65.7/100 and 4 out of 5 stars, ranking #258 of 7,333 stocks in our universe. SPB displays a favorable combination of factors that positions it above the majority of the market. While not without risk, the quantitative profile supports a constructive outlook.
SPB earns a quality score of 78/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 3.9% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 36.9% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 2.6% (sector avg: 1.0%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
From a valuation perspective, SPB scores an exceptional 93/100, indicating the stock trades at a deep discount relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 25.43x, an EV/EBITDA of 15.16x, a P/B ratio of 0.98x. A value score this high suggests the market may be significantly underpricing the company's earnings power, assets, or cash flow generation.
With an investment score of 52/100, SPB exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -13.1% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 2.1% (sector: 0.9%). 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.
SPB demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 54/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at -13.1% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.85 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.
SPB shows good financial stability with a score of 71/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.85 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 80.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.'s short interest score of 26/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 80.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $1.3B (small-cap), SPB carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
SPB pays a solid dividend yield of 3.5%, contributing an income component to total returns. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #258 of 7,333 overall (96th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 3.9% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 4.4% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
