As AI disruption hits several sectors, below is a list of small- and mid-cap semiconductor stocks that carry Strong Sell or Sell recommendations under the Quant Rating system and are ranked by their price-to-sales (P/S) multiples.
The screen focuses on semiconductor companies within the small- and mid-cap range, filtering for names that combine negative quantitative ratings with elevated sales-based valuations.
The price-to-sales (P/S) multiple is a valuation metric that compares a company’s stock price to its revenue per share. It’s calculated by dividing a company’s market capitalization by its total revenue, or alternatively, by dividing its stock price by its revenue per share.
The list highlights semiconductor stocks that pair negative quantitative signals with P/S multiples relative to peers.
At the top are stocks with higher price-to-sales ratios, which may warrant caution given their unfavorable Quant Ratings.
The list is topped by Rigetti Computing, Inc. (RGTI), which has the highest price-to-sales multiple among the screened small- and mid-cap semiconductor names with a Strong Sell Quant Rating. Universal Display Corporation (OLED) and Impinj, Inc. (PI) follow, with Datavault AI Inc. (DVLT) and CEVA, Inc. (CEVA) rounding out the rest of the top five, all combining unfavorable quantitative scores with relatively high sales-based valuations.
Other notable names on the list, such as indie Semiconductor, Inc. (INDI) and Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOSL), also feature on this screen alongside their Sell or Strong Sell Quant Ratings.
