Analysis Accuracy
AEYE exhibits weak financial health per the Piotroski F-Score of 2/9, indicating significant operational and financial distress. The company operates at a loss with negative ROE (-54.03%) and ROA (-6.30%), while carrying a high debt-to-equity ratio of 2.34 and a current ratio of 1.00, signaling liquidity concerns. Despite strong gross margins (78.61%) and revenue growth (14.60% YoY), profitability remains elusive, and the lack of a Graham Number or intrinsic value estimate underscores the absence of a clear fair value anchor. The stock trades at a premium valuation (Price/Book: 14.88) with no dividend, and technical trends are bearish, reinforcing a cautious stance.
Key Strengths
Strong gross margin of 78.61% indicates efficient cost control in core operations
Consistent revenue growth of 14.60% YoY suggests market traction and demand
Positive earnings surprise history in recent quarters (avg +4.37%) shows potential for beat-and-raise momentum
Recent Q/Q EPS growth of +26.7% signals improving profitability trajectory
Insider sentiment at 60/100 reflects moderate confidence in long-term prospects
Key Risks
Piotroski F-Score of 2/9 indicates severe financial distress and weak operational health
Negative ROE (-54.03%) and ROA (-6.30%) reflect poor capital efficiency and sustained losses
Debt/Equity ratio of 2.34 is dangerously high, increasing financial leverage risk
No Altman Z-Score available, but the financial profile suggests distress risk (Z < 1.8 likely)
Stock has declined 57.7% over the past year and 82.4% over 5 years, indicating prolonged underperformance
