With the increased volume, companies in this sector can increase prices for air shipments as competing airlines are unable to maintain the volume of international flights given the reduced passenger traffic. A large amount of the world’s cargo travels in passenger flights, meaning Courier, Postal, Air Freight & Land sub industry can increase their prices as the demand has strained the current supply capabilities.

For example, in its June 2021 quarter FedEx saw package delivery revenues of $8.7 billion, a 35.6% increase year-over-year.

Year to date through May 26, the S&P Air Freight and Logistics Index rose 22%, compared to a 12% gain for the S&P Composite 1500

Castor Maritime Inc. Stock Value Grade

Value Grade:

Metric Rank CTRM Sector Median
Price/Sales 10 0.24 1.55
Price/Earnings 6 5.7 27.9
EV/EBITDA na na 13.9
Shareholder Yield 49 0.0% 0.0%
Price/Book Value 1 0.04 2.68
Price/Free Cash Flow 9 4.7 24.9

Buying stocks that are going to go up typically means buying stocks that are undervalued in the first place, although momentum investors may argue that point.

AAII’s A+ Investor Value Grade is derived from a stock’s value score. The value score is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of the price-to-sales ratio, price-earnings ratio, enterprise-value-to-EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) ratio, shareholder yield, price-to-book-value ratio and price-to-free-cash-flow ratio. The score is variable, meaning it can consider all six ratios or, should any of the six ratios not be valid, the remaining ratios that are valid. To be assigned a Value Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) ratio and corresponding ranking for at least two of the six valuation ratios.

Stocks with a Value Score from 81 to 100 are considered deep value, those with a score between 61 and 80 are a good value and so on.

Castor Maritime Inc. has a Value Score of 98, which is Deep Value.

Castor Maritime Inc. Stock Growth Grade

Growth Grade:

Metric Metric Score CTRM Sector Median
Sales Growth 5yr Ann'l 40 45.6% 7.4%
Sales Increases YoY Last 5 yrs 60 3 of 5 3 of 5
Cash from Operations Ann'l Positive Last 5 yrs 100 5 of 5 5 of 5

The foundation of growth investing is seeking out stocks of companies exhibiting strong, consistent and prolonged growth that is expected to continue into the future.

In order to compute the Growth Score and assign it a letter grade, the percentile ranks for each of the three individual components‐consistency of annual sales growth, five‐year sales growth rankings adjusted for extreme levels, and consistency of positive annual cash from operations‐must be determined. These three rank figures are added together, and the sum is ranked against the entire stock universe to arrive at a company’s Growth Score to create an equal distribution of grades.

The companies in the bottom 20% of the stock universe receive Growth Grades of F, considered Very Weak, while those in the top 20% receive A grades, which are considered Very Strong.

Castor Maritime Inc. has a Growth Score of 45, which is Average.

F-Score 17 3 5

Like the Value Grade, AAII’s A+ Investor Quality Grade comes from the percentile rank of key metrics. Specifically, the Quality Grade is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of return on assets (ROA), return on invested capital (ROIC), gross profit relative to assets, buyback yield, change in total liabilities to assets, accruals, Z double prime bankruptcy risk (Z) score and F-Score.

The score is variable, meaning it can consider all eight measures or, should any of the eight measures not be valid, the remaining measures that are valid. To be assigned a Quality Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) measure and corresponding ranking for at least four of the eight quality measures.

The Quality Score is used to assess the underlying “quality” of a particular stock. A higher quality stock possesses traits associated with upside potential and reduced downside risk. Backtesting of the Quality Grade shows that stocks with higher grades, on average, outperformed stocks with lower grades over the period of 1998 through 2019.

Stocks receive better grades (higher scores) for having higher scores for the quality subcomponents and worse grades (lower scores) for lower scores for the subcomponents.

Castor Maritime Inc. has a Quality Score of 31, which is Weak.

Castor Maritime Inc. Stock Momentum Grade

Momentum Grade:

Metric Score CTRM Sector Median
Relative Price Strength (Q1) 29 (15.6%) (5.7%)
Relative Price Strength (Q2) 71 12.8% 2.5%
Relative Price Strength (Q3) 34 (12.3%) (6.7%)
Relative Price Strength (Q4) 40 (11.3%) (2.3%)
Relative Price Strength (weighted 4 qtr) 29 (8.4%) (1.2%)

Momentum grades help uncover stocks experiencing anomalously high rates of return; research finds that stocks with high relative levels of momentum tend to outperform, whereas those with low levels of momentum tend to continue underperforming. Momentum is based on the price change of a stock over a specified period relative to all other stocks.

Typically, AAII looks at the weighted relative strength over the trailing four quarters. The weighted four-quarter relative strength rank is the relative price change for each of the past four quarters. The most recent quarterly price change is given a weight of 40% and each of the three previous quarters are given a weighting of 20%.

Castor Maritime Inc. has a Momentum Score of 29, which is Weak.

AAII’s stock screen that follows the companies with the highest earnings estimate revisions (i.e., the best grades) has a 23.3% backtested annual return since inception, whereas an example screen following those with the worst revisions has a backtested annual return since inception of under 5%.
