Titan Machinery Inc. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Titan Machinery Inc. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 52.5/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1611 of 7,333 stocks, TITN presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
TITN's quality score of 37/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -4.9% (sector avg: 8.9%), gross margins of 16.6% (sector avg: 36.2%), net margins of -1.3% (sector avg: 1.6%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
TITN carries a solid value score of 75/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 79.99x, an EV/EBITDA of 28.98x, a P/B ratio of 0.78x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
Titan Machinery Inc.'s investment score of 33/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -13.1% vs. a sector average of 3.8% and a return on assets of -1.6% (sector: 2.9%). 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.
TITN 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 1.26 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.
With a stability score of 49/100, TITN exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.26 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 27.00x (sector avg: 0.6x). 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.
The short interest score of 50/100 for TITN suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.26), elevated leverage (D/E: 27.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $383M market cap (small-cap), Titan Machinery Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Titan Machinery Inc. is a small-cap company in the Retail Trade sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1611 of 7,333 overall (78th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -4.9% trailing the 8.9% sector median and operating margins of 0.8% below the 3.9% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Retail Trade peers.
While TITN currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the RETAIL TRADE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
