Overview
ACCE thesis
Quest Resource Holding runs waste and recycling services for commercial and industrial customers, with recycled commodity sales, outsourced waste auditing and logistics brokerage making up the bulk of its revenue. At a $25M market cap, the stock is a micro-cap that trades at roughly 9.9 times forward earnings while its trailing P/E is not meaningful, and revenue is growing 7.6%. Operating margin is only 1.8% and gross margin 16.4%, so any improvement in mix or commodity pricing flows through to earnings quickly. Return on equity of -50.3% shows the balance sheet has absorbed heavy losses, which is the main reason to be cautious. The score of 53/100 and absence from any index suggest this needs a closer look at the debt and cash position before it earns more attention.
⚠ Investor warnings · 2 flagsAI-assisted·How I use AI
high
Heavy leverage on thin equity
Debt/Equity is 1.60 and ROE is -50.3%, while net margin is -7.1%. Small operating profit does not cover the debt load well, so the equity cushion is thin.
moderate
Trades above ACCE price target
The price of $1.18 sits 12.4% above the ACCE price target of $1.05, last updated 2026-10-14. The stock already prices in more than our target.

Why it could do well
Analysts covering the stock are unanimous, with both of the two tracking analysts rating it Buy or Strong Buy.
Quest beat its latest earnings estimate, reporting a loss of $0.05 per share against an expected $0.06 loss.
Why it could disappoint
Quest is losing money, with a net margin of -7.1% and a return on equity of -50.3% over the latest reporting period.
Debt stands at 1.60 times equity, and the diluted share count rose 1.8% last fiscal year, diluting existing holders.
The shares trade 12.4% above the ACCE price target of $1.05, so the price already sits beyond our own estimate.
