Fundamentalytics rating

model v1.6 · 2026-11-03

Not rated: held for review: after-tax interest is 388% of the cash flow left for shareholders; our flat discount rate doesn't yet reflect debt this heavy.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of A.k.a. Brands Holding Corp.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $9.1M, FY2026 Q2 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Moat

40 /100

Weak moat

How hard A.k.a. Brands Holding's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 6 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Net income has been a median -6.6% of total assets over 5 years.

  • Pricing power 19 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 56.3%, moving by 1.7 percentage points (standard deviation) across 6 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median -2.1%; its worst year was -32.1%.

  • Cash conversion 7 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 3 of 5 years, at a median 1.5% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (45 before it).

A rules-based reading of reported figures, not a forecast and not investment advice. How the score is built: methodology.
