Outperform
HQI's fundamental analysis is robust, earning a superior rating with a score of 8.4/10. Key strengths include a healthy current ratio of 2.4036 (quartile 3) and a Return on Equity (diluted) YoY growth of 6.6397 (quartile 3), both historically associated with positive monthly returns. However, weaknesses such as a low current assets turnover ratio (0.4579, quartile 1) and negative revenue growth (-10.9636% YoY) temper the overall outlook, signaling inefficiencies in asset utilization and contracting sales.
