The Quality factor evaluates the persistence and magnitude of realized cash flows. Companies with scores >70 exhibit superior pricing power and structural financial resilience through diverse economic regimes.
Our uncertainty rating tracks the predictability of future cash flows and potential for permanent capital loss. Moderate visibility with standard industry cyclicality.
Our quantitative model flags TryHard Holdings Ltd with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 31.6/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4414 of 7,333 stocks, THH falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
THH's quality score of 38/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 36.9% (sector avg: 5.3%), gross margins of 19.8% (sector avg: 59.6%), net margins of 2.0% (sector avg: 2.3%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 46/100, THH appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 1.87x, an EV/EBITDA of 8.59x, a P/B ratio of 5.54x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
TryHard Holdings Ltd's investment score of 34/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 14.1% vs. a sector average of 7.8% and a return on assets of 7.9% (sector: 1.9%). 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.
TryHard Holdings Ltd is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 20/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at 14.1% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.64 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. While deep momentum weakness can occasionally present value opportunities, it often reflects deteriorating fundamentals or structural headwinds that may persist.
TryHard Holdings Ltd registers a low stability score of 10/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.64 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 161.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
The short interest score of 51/100 for THH suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.64), elevated leverage (D/E: 161.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $6M market cap (micro-cap), TryHard Holdings Ltd may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
TryHard Holdings Ltd is a micro-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4414 of 7,333 overall (40th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 36.9% exceeding the 5.3% sector median and operating margins of -2.5% below the 3.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While THH currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF JUN 30, 2025 (Q1 FY2025)
We rate TryHard Holdings Ltd (THH) as Avoid with a composite score of 31.6/100 at a current price of $0.58. The stock falls in the bottom quintile of our universe across key quantitative factors, and the multi-factor weakness suggests a high probability of continued underperformance.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in value (46th percentile) and quality (38th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in stability (10th percentile) and momentum (20th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a No Moat rating (29/100), Very High uncertainty, and Standard capital allocation.
Key items to watch: momentum to confirm whether the current price trend has legs; balance sheet deleveraging progress. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
TryHard Holdings Ltd holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Services sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 31.6/100 places it at rank #4414 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $6M in market capitalization, TryHard Holdings Ltd is a small-cap player in the Services space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
Revenue is growing at 14%, though momentum at the 20th percentile suggests the market has not yet fully recognized this trajectory. This potential disconnect between fundamental improvement and market recognition could represent an opportunity for patient investors if the growth trend persists.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 20% (-39.8pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of -3% (-6.1pp vs sector) and net margins of 2.0%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of 10%. The significant margin erosion from gross to net suggests elevated operating expenses, high interest costs, or other structural drags that warrant monitoring.
At a current price of $0.58, TryHard Holdings Ltd is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 46/100 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 a P/E of 1.9x (a 92% discount to the sector median of 23.7x), EV/EBITDA of 8.6x (discounted to peers), P/B of 5.5x, P/S of 0.3x. The below-sector P/E suggests possible undervaluation or the market pricing in near-term headwinds.
Returns on equity of 36.9% 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 14% confirms the business is expanding its addressable market — growth at this level typically supports multiple expansion and attracts institutional capital.
The Avoid rating (composite 31.6/100) reflects multi-factor weakness, and historically, stocks in this scoring range have underperformed the market by a meaningful margin.
Elevated leverage (161% D/E) amplifies downside risk and limits management's financial flexibility in adverse scenarios.
Thin net margins of 2.0% provide limited cushion against cost pressures, competitive pricing, or macroeconomic headwinds — even small changes in costs could swing the company to a loss.
We assign a Very High uncertainty rating to TryHard Holdings Ltd. The stock exhibits multiple compounding risk factors: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 1.64), significant leverage (161% debt-to-equity), below-average price stability (10th percentile). The extreme uncertainty around future cash flows makes precise valuation difficult, and the range of outcomes is exceptionally wide. Only investors with high risk tolerance and extended time horizons should consider this name.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 1.64); significant leverage (161% debt-to-equity); below-average price stability (10th percentile); the combination of leverage (161% D/E) and thin margins (2.0% net) amplifies downside risk. 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 10th percentile and quality factor at the 38th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
We identify limited risk mitigants at this time, which contributes to our very high uncertainty assessment. Investors should monitor for improvement in balance sheet metrics, margin stability, and business predictability that could warrant a downgrade in our risk assessment over time.
We rate TryHard Holdings Ltd's capital allocation as Standard. Management has shown adequate — though not exceptional — stewardship of shareholder capital. Returns on equity stand at 36.9%, and the balance sheet is managed within acceptable parameters (D/E: 161%). Exemplary allocators typically sustain ROE above 20% and D/E below 50%; TryHard Holdings Ltd falls short on at least one dimension.
There is room for improvement in optimizing the capital structure or enhancing shareholder returns. Absent a dividend, the overall capital allocation framework would benefit from either higher reinvestment returns, improved balance sheet efficiency, or increased shareholder distributions. We will monitor for signs of strategic improvement that could warrant an upgrade.
In summary, TryHard Holdings Ltd receives a Avoid rating with a composite score of 31.6/100 (rank #4414 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a No Moat (29/100, trend: stable), Very High uncertainty, and Standard capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 29/100.
Our analysis does not support a constructive view on TryHard Holdings Ltd at this time. The combination of limited competitive advantages, very high uncertainty, and standard capital allocation suggests unfavorable risk-reward at current levels. We recommend investors avoid new positions and existing holders consider reducing exposure.

We do not assign TryHard Holdings Ltd a meaningful economic moat, scoring 29/100 on our composite assessment. The ROIC-WACC spread of -14.2% is the primary signal of economic value creation. Current fundamentals do not demonstrate the kind of durable competitive advantages — such as superior returns on invested capital, margin superiority, or reinvestment efficiency — that would protect the company from competitive erosion over the long term. The highest-scoring pillar, growth durability, reached only 10.8/20.
The strongest moat sources are growth durability (10.8/20) and reinvestment efficiency (9.4/20). Rev growth 14%. Capital turnover 2.85x. These pillars form the core of TryHard Holdings Ltd's competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include financial resilience (0/20) and economic value creation (3.5/20). Interest coverage N/A, Net debt/EBITDA 7.7x. 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 Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect TryHard Holdings Ltd's moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include moderate revenue growth of 14%, returns on equity of 36.9% driving shareholder value creation. The margin cascade from 20% gross to -3% operating to 2.0% 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 38th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 20%, operating margins of -3%, net margins of 2.0%. Return metrics include ROE of 36.9% and ROA of 7.9%. Relative to the Services sector, gross margins are 39.8 percentage points below the sector median of 60%, and ROE of 36.9% compares to a sector median of 5.3%.
The balance sheet reflects high leverage with D/E of 161%, which may limit financial flexibility, revenue growth of 14%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting TryHard Holdings Ltd at higher leverage than the typical peer. Elevated leverage in combination with the current margin profile warrants close monitoring for any deterioration in debt-servicing capacity.
Weak momentum (20th percentile) suggests institutional selling pressure and unfavorable technical dynamics that may persist.
High beta of 1.64 means amplified losses in market selloffs — in a broad market correction, this stock would likely decline more than the index.
