AI Analysis

AI-powered fundamental assessment

Confidence

Franklin Covey exhibits severe financial fragility, highlighted by a critical Piotroski F-Score of 2/9, indicating weak operational health. While the company maintains a very low debt-to-equity ratio (0.02), it suffers from a significant liquidity crisis with a current ratio of 0.63 and a quick ratio of 0.42. Stagnant revenue growth (0.10% YoY) and a disastrous recent earnings track record—missing 4 of the last 4 estimates with an average surprise of -82.73%—suggest a failing business model or a difficult transition. Despite a low Price-to-Sales ratio, the combination of negative profit margins and a bearish technical trend (10/100) outweighs the analyst target price.

Key Strengths

Very low leverage (Debt/Equity: 0.02)
Strong Gross Margin (75.85%)
Low Price-to-Sales ratio (0.93)
Reasonable PEG ratio (0.95) based on forward estimates
Positive ROA (3.17%) despite negative ROE

Key Risks

Critical liquidity risk (Current Ratio 0.63, Quick Ratio 0.42)
Severe operational deterioration (Piotroski F-Score 2/9)
Stagnant top-line growth (0.10% YoY)
Consistent and significant earnings misses (0/4 beats in last 4 quarters)
Negative net profit margins (-0.88%)
