SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 40.1/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3528 out of 7,333 stocks. SQNS'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.
SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS registers a weak quality score of just 19/100, indicating significant profitability challenges. The company reports a return on equity of 244.8% (sector avg: -2.5%), gross margins of 110.7% (sector avg: 42.5%), net margins of 229.7% (sector avg: -0.2%). Low quality scores are often associated with businesses in turnaround mode, early-stage growth, or structurally challenged industries.
With a value score of 43/100, SQNS appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 0.07x, a P/B ratio of 0.49x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
With an investment score of 47/100, SQNS exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 15.2% vs. a sector average of 5.9% and a return on assets of 216.2% (sector: -0.1%). 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.
SQNS demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 69/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 15.2% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.79 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.
SQNS's stability score of 25/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.79 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 44/100 for SQNS suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $86M market cap (micro-cap), SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3528 of 7,333 overall (52nd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 244.8% exceeding the -2.5% sector median and operating margins of -333.6% below the 1.3% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While SQNS currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF DEC 31, 2024 (Q3 FY2024)
We rate SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS (SQNS) as a Reduce with a composite score of 40.1/100 at a current price of $2.74. The quantitative profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting limited upside potential and elevated risk of underperformance relative to peers over the next 12 months.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in momentum (69th percentile) and investment (47th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in quality (19th percentile) and stability (25th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a Narrow Moat rating (50/100), Medium uncertainty, and Exemplary capital allocation.
Key items to watch: quarterly earnings execution and sector-level competitive dynamics. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is widening, which provides additional comfort in the durability of the competitive position.
SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 40.1/100 places it at rank #3528 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $86M in market capitalization, SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS is a small-cap player in the Manufacturing space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
The near-term outlook is constructive, with revenue growing at 15% and momentum in the 69th percentile confirming positive market sentiment and institutional accumulation. The combination of strong top-line growth and favorable price dynamics suggests the company is executing well on its growth strategy. Investment factor at the 47th percentile indicates reinvestment patterns that investors should monitor for sustainability.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 111% (+68.2pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of -334% (-334.9pp vs sector) and net margins of 229.7%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of 208%. This efficient conversion suggests well-controlled operating costs and limited margin leakage between the gross and net levels.
At a current price of $2.74, SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 43/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. Valuation metrics are mixed, with no strong signal of mispricing in either direction.
The stock currently trades at EV/EBITDA of 0.1x (discounted to peers), P/B of 0.5x, P/S of 0.5x. We evaluate these multiples in the context of both absolute levels and sector-relative positioning to form our valuation view.
Gross margins of 111% signal strong pricing power and brand/IP advantages — businesses with margins above 40% have historically demonstrated more resilient earnings through economic cycles.
Returns on equity of 244.8% exceed the cost of equity for most companies, indicating genuine shareholder value creation and a reinvestment engine that compounds wealth over time.
Revenue growth of 15% confirms the business is expanding its addressable market — growth at this level typically supports multiple expansion and attracts institutional capital.
A conservative balance sheet (0% D/E) provides financial flexibility for acquisitions, buybacks, or weathering economic downturns without dilution.
Positive momentum (69th percentile) indicates institutional accumulation and favorable technical dynamics that tend to persist in the intermediate term.
We assign a Medium uncertainty rating to SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS. The stock presents a balanced risk profile: below-average price stability (25th percentile) and weak quality scores (19th percentile). While not risk-free, the core business fundamentals are adequate to withstand moderate economic stress, and the range of potential outcomes around our fair value estimate is manageable.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: below-average price stability (25th percentile); weak quality scores (19th percentile). Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 25th percentile and quality factor at the 19th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
Key risk mitigants include: healthy gross margins of 111% provide a buffer against cost pressures; conservative leverage (0% D/E) limits balance sheet risk. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile is favorable for long-term investors.
We rate SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS's capital allocation as Exemplary. Management demonstrates a strong track record of balancing reinvestment with shareholder returns, evidenced by returns on equity of 244.8%, disciplined leverage (0% D/E), best-in-class net margins of 229.7%. Exemplary allocators typically generate returns on equity above 20% while maintaining debt-to-equity below 50% — SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS meets this high bar.
The balance sheet remains conservatively managed, providing financial flexibility for opportunistic investments while maintaining a margin of safety for shareholders. We note that the combination of 216.2% return on assets and controlled leverage suggests management is deploying capital at rates well above the cost of capital — the hallmark of exemplary stewardship.
In summary, SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS receives a Reduce rating with a composite score of 40.1/100 (rank #3528 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a Narrow Moat (50/100, trend: widening), Medium uncertainty, and Exemplary capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 40/100.
Our analysis does not support a constructive view on SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS at this time. The combination of the current quantitative profile, medium uncertainty, and exemplary capital allocation suggests unfavorable risk-reward at current levels. We recommend investors avoid new positions and existing holders consider reducing exposure.
Analysis derived from Blank Capital Research quantitative terminal. For informational purposes only. No trade solicitation. Past performance not indicative of future results. Consult a qualified advisor.
We assign SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS a Narrow Moat rating with a composite moat score of 50/100. The company possesses identifiable competitive advantages, though they are less entrenched than those of wide-moat peers. Our analysis indicates that SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS can sustain above-average returns on invested capital for at least 10 years, with the strongest contributor being economic value creation at 15/20.
The strongest moat sources are economic value creation (15/20) and growth durability (12.2/20). ROE proxy 244.8% (sector -2.5%). Rev growth 15%, 9yr history. These pillars form the core of SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS's competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (7/20) and margin superiority (8/20). Capital turnover N/A, R&D intensity 113.8%. Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Widening. ROIC has trended upward at ~273.0pp per year, and operating margin trajectory confirms strengthening economics. SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS's competitive position is improving on a fundamental basis. We expect the moat score to drift upward if these trends persist over the next 12–18 months.
Key profit drivers include gross margins of 111% providing a solid profitability foundation, robust top-line growth of 15% expanding the revenue base, returns on equity of 244.8% driving shareholder value creation. The margin cascade from 111% gross to -334% operating to 229.7% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that profit quality raises some durability concerns, with the quality factor at the 19th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 111%, operating margins of -334%, net margins of 229.7%. Return metrics include ROE of 244.8% and ROA of 216.2%. Relative to the Manufacturing sector, gross margins are 68.2 percentage points above the sector median of 43%, and ROE of 244.8% compares to a sector median of -2.5%.
The balance sheet reflects a conservatively managed balance sheet with D/E of 0%, revenue growth of 15%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS in a relatively stronger balance sheet position. The combination of low leverage and healthy profitability provides significant financial resilience and strategic optionality.
The Reduce rating (composite 40.1/100) reflects multi-factor weakness, and historically, stocks in this scoring range have underperformed the market by a meaningful margin.
Below-average quality (19th percentile) raises durability concerns about the fundamental profile and increases the risk of negative earnings surprises.
