Zeta Global Holdings Corp. represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Zeta Global Holdings Corp. receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 43.6/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3043 out of 7,333 stocks. ZETA'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.
With a quality score of 52/100, ZETA shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -8.0% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 61.0% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of -5.0% (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.
With a value score of 39/100, ZETA appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 96.95x, a P/B ratio of 5.35x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
Zeta Global Holdings Corp.'s investment score of 23/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 48.0% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of -4.8% (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.
ZETA demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 52/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 48.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.04 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.
ZETA's stability score of 36/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.04 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 29.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 47/100 for ZETA suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 2.04), elevated leverage (D/E: 29.00x). With a $9.4B market cap (mid-cap), Zeta Global Holdings Corp. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Zeta Global Holdings Corp. is a mid-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3043 of 7,333 overall (59th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -8.0% trailing the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of -2.4% below the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While ZETA currently exhibits a REDUCE 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.
