HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc receives a 3-star quantitative star rating, illustrating our stance that this share class is a balanced choice, but prudent investors should consider looking elsewhere. The stock currently trades at a minor 3% premium over our quantitative fair value estimate of $35.28 per share; however, this estimate should be taken with a pinch of salt due to its high uncertainty rating.

The company's valuation metrics undermine our fair value estimate. A company's valuation metrics provide insights into the market's expectations for its future growth and profitability. Reflecting the firm's valuation is its enterprise value to EBITDA ratio of 101.9, which ranks in the top 10% globally. This suggests that the value of its enterprise value, or the value of its shares and debt, is a high multiple of the generated EBITDA. We believe this is a sign that shares could be expensive.

The company's lack of profitability is an additional cause for concern. Companies with low profitability are often less resilient in recessions and are likely to generate weaker future cash flows for shareholders. The firm's gross margin of 23.8%, a core component of profitability, ranks in the bottom 30% compared with global peers. This suggests that competition is intense and profit generation could prove difficult. This characteristic further promotes our unfavorable price/fair value ratio.

In addition to the aforementioned drivers, our model considers momentum as part of its comprehensive analysis. This share class has outperformed the broader universe over the past year. This outperformance may signify a bull trap, in light of other detractors from our model.

With its quantitative economic moat rating of none, we do not expect this company to materially outearn its cost of capital in the long run. Additionally, the firm's moderate financial health score suggests it is acceptably positioned against adverse economic circumstances.
