Carlyle Group Inc (CG) · 10 metrics scored

Smart Score

80
out of 100
Grade: A-
Exceptional Buy
Investment Rating

Category Performance

WallStSmart pulls financial metrics like revenue growth, profit margins, and valuation ratios and scores each one from 0 to 10 based on how strong or weak it is. Those 10 scores are grouped into 4 categories: Growth, Profitability, Valuation, and Quality — which form the 4 axes of the spider chart you see. The categories are then combined into a final score out of 100, but not equally. Growth and Profitability together count for 60% of the total, because a fast-growing profitable business matters more than just a cheap one. That final number maps to a rating (Strong Buy, Buy, Hold, Avoid) and a letter grade, giving you one clear Stock Rating.

Investment Thesis

Strong fundamentals in market cap, peg ratio, operating margin. Overall metrics suggest strong investment potential with favorable risk/reward.

Carlyle Group Inc (CG) Detailed Analysis Report

Overall Assessment

This company scores 80/100 in our Smart Analysis, earning a A- grade. Out of 10 metrics analyzed, 7 register as strengths (avg 9.6/10) while 3 fall into concern territory (avg 5.0/10). All four categories (Growth, Profitability, Valuation, and Quality) show healthy scores, indicating broadly sound fundamentals.

The Bull Case

The strongest argument centers on PEG Ratio, Operating Margin, Revenue Growth. Valuation metrics including PEG Ratio (0.66) suggest the stock is attractively priced. Profitability is solid with Operating Margin at 30.60%, Profit Margin at 20.10%. Growth metrics are encouraging with Revenue Growth at 93.90%, EPS Growth at 70.20%.

The Bear Case

The primary concerns are Price/Sales, Return on Equity, Price/Book. Some valuation metrics including Price/Sales (4.23), Price/Book (2.96) suggest expensive pricing. Profitability pressure is visible in Return on Equity at 14.10%.

Key Dynamics to Monitor

Three factors to monitor going forward. First, whether Price/Sales improves, as this is the primary drag on the overall score. Second, margin trajectory, with Return on Equity at 14.10% needing improvement to support the investment thesis. Third, growth sustainability, with Revenue Growth at 93.90% strong but requiring continuation.

Risk Considerations

Based on the metric profile, this is a moderate risk investment. The weight of evidence leans positive, with more strengths than concerns. Investors should size positions according to their risk tolerance and maintain diversification.

Bottom Line

The combination of PEG Ratio and Operating Margin makes a compelling case at current levels. The key risk is Price/Sales, but the overall fundamental picture is positive with a clear path to maintaining or improving the current A- grade.
