CVR PARTNERS, LP represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns CVR PARTNERS, LP a Hold rating, with a composite score of 59.3/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #759 of 7,333 stocks, UAN 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.
UAN earns a quality score of 65/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 42.4% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 28.5% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 17.8% (sector avg: 1.0%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
UAN carries a solid value score of 87/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 9.45x, an EV/EBITDA of 7.47x, a P/B ratio of 4.01x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
CVR PARTNERS, LP's investment score of 38/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 23.1% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 11.6% (sector: 0.9%). 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.
UAN demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 61/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 23.1% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.41 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.
UAN shows good financial stability with a score of 81/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.41 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 265.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). 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 43/100 for UAN suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 265.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $953M market cap (small-cap), CVR PARTNERS, LP may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
CVR PARTNERS, LP offers an attractive dividend yield of 10.1%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
CVR PARTNERS, LP is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #759 of 7,333 overall (90th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 42.4% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 22.9% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While UAN currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
