TETRA TECH INC represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns TETRA TECH INC a Hold rating, with a composite score of 57.3/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #994 of 7,333 stocks, TTEK 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.
With a quality score of 52/100, TTEK shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 12.2% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 17.1% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of 4.4% (sector avg: 2.8%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
TTEK's value score of 63/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 42.05x, an EV/EBITDA of 28.01x, a P/B ratio of 5.13x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
With an investment score of 47/100, TTEK exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -9.9% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of 5.3% (sector: 2.4%). 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.
TTEK shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 72/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at -9.9% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.55 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
TTEK shows good financial stability with a score of 80/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.55 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 45.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
The short interest score of 44/100 for TTEK suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 45.00x). With a $8.9B market cap (mid-cap), TETRA TECH INC may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
TTEK offers a modest dividend yield of 0.7%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
TETRA TECH INC is a mid-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #994 of 7,333 overall (86th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 12.2% exceeding the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of 7.1% above the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While TTEK currently exhibits a HOLD 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.
