A score is a quantitative screen of AeroVironment, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does AVAV score 42.7 on Bull Rankings?
The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). AVAV earns its highest marks on Rev (A) and D/E (A-), and is held back by FCF (F). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is AVAV overvalued or undervalued?
We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for AVAV — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.
What are the main risks of investing in AVAV?
Free cash flow is negative (-$141m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Currently unprofitable (margin -13.4%) — path to GAAP profitability is the core thesis risk. Down 59% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
