Outperform
APEI's fundamentals are robust, scoring 8.4/10. Key strengths include Asset-MV (-0.5007) in group 2, Revenue-MV (0.4413) in group 3, and Profit-MV (0.1124) in group 3, all historically associated with positive returns. Gross profit margin at 53.51% (group 3) and a manageable Long-term debt to working capital ratio of 0.9216 (group 2) further support this view. Weaknesses are noted in Cash-UP (-0.0276, group 1) and Equity ratio (0.8805, group 1), but these have limited negative impact given their lower weights, resulting in an overall outstanding fundamental assessment.
