TORO CORP. represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
TORO CORP. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 42.3/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3235 out of 7,333 stocks. TORO'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.
TORO's quality score of 31/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 50.7% (sector avg: 11.9%), gross margins of 99.9% (sector avg: 52.6%), net margins of 112.6% (sector avg: 7.7%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
TORO registers a value score of just 17/100, suggesting the stock trades at a significant premium to its fundamental metrics. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 3.23x, a P/B ratio of 0.52x. High-premium valuations like this require strong future execution to avoid multiple compression, and downside risk is elevated if growth disappoints.
TORO CORP.'s investment score of 25/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 0.4% vs. a sector average of 4.2% and a return on assets of 30.9% (sector: 3.2%). 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.
TORO shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 73/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 0.4% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.65 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
TORO's stability score of 28/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.65 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.00x (sector avg: 1.3x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
TORO carries a short interest score of 77/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.65), micro-cap liquidity risk. At $53M market cap (micro-cap), TORO CORP. offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
TORO CORP. is a micro-cap company in the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3235 of 7,333 overall (56th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 50.7% exceeding the 11.9% sector median and operating margins of -24.8% below the 14.8% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services peers.
While TORO currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRIC, GAS, AND SANITARY SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
