Price from 2 days ago
12.14% operating margin is respectable but not wide. ROIC at 6.73%. Suggests the business covers its cost of capital, but doesn't point to a wide moat.
Revenue grew 15.2%, still solid. Margins contracted 7.2pp, which offsets some of the top-line progress.
At 26x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration. Free cash flow declined 195% versus the prior year, cash generation momentum has weakened.
26.0x earnings. Not cheap, the quality is already reflected in the price. Upside from here requires either margin expansion or growth re-acceleration, not just continuation.

Is Acm Research (ACMR) overvalued?
At a P/E of 26.0, Acm Research (ACMR)'s valuation is best read against its own history, its peers, and the growth its price implies. A high multiple is not the same as overvalued: fast-growing, high-quality businesses can deserve a premium. See the general approach in how to tell if a stock is overvalued.
On quality, Acm Research scores 34/100 on Intrinsiqq's quality scorecard (a lower-quality business on these measures), weighing growth, margins, returns on capital, share count, and balance-sheet strength.

Frequently asked
Is Acm Research a high-quality business?+
Acm Research scores 34 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 7 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a lower-quality business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 13.3% operating margin and a 5.8% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from SEC filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.
Is Acm Research a good stock to buy right now?+
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. you should weigh ACMR's valuation and scores 34/100 on quality (lower-quality). A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
