TSS, Inc. represents a avoid based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our quantitative model flags TSS, Inc. with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 31.6/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #4415 of 7,333 stocks, TSSI falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
TSSI's quality score of 25/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 8.8% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 12.4% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of 1.6% (sector avg: 2.8%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 32/100, TSSI appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 40.05x, an EV/EBITDA of 20.78x, a P/B ratio of 3.54x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
TSS, Inc.'s investment score of 32/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 244.5% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of 3.4% (sector: 2.4%). 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.
TSS, Inc. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 27/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at 244.5% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.54 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.
TSS, Inc. registers a low stability score of 15/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.54 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.
TSSI carries a short interest score of 60/100, 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: 2.54), elevated leverage (D/E: 161.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $522M market cap (small-cap), TSS, Inc. offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
TSS, Inc. is a small-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #4415 of 7,333 overall (40th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 8.8% exceeding the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of 3.1% below the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While TSSI 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.
