Top 10 Stock Aurubis Strong Buy Recommendation
How to read the ranks
For every stock, we judge its performance against its peers and rank it on a scale of 1 to 100. The higher the rank, the better the stock performs than its peers. And, we do this for six investment strategies:
Value - shows how good of a value the stock is. Green is "inexpensive"; red is "expensive".
Growth - shows a company's growth potential. Green is "high growth" expected; red is "tough times ahead".
Safety - relates to the amount of debt a company has. Green is low debt level; red is high debt level.
Combined Financial - this isn't an average of the first three ranks but rather a consolidated view across several financial indicators. Green = good; red = tread carefully.
(NEW) Sentiment - quantifies professional analyst ratings and holdings as well as market pulse. Green = positive sentiment; red = skepticism (Only available to Premium Subscribers).
(NEW) 360° View - the ultimate rating with all financial and non-financial indicators.

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt 360° Rank of 77 (better than 77% compared with alternatives) for 2023, overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock Aurubis are very positive. The 360° Rank is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with half the metrics below and half above average for Aurubis. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 71, which means that the share price of Aurubis is on the lower side compared with typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital. This means the stock price is lower than for 71% of alternative stocks in the same industry. The company is also safely financed with a Safety rank of 98. But the professional market sentiment is below average compared with other stock investment alternatives with a Sentiment Rank of 45. Professional investors are more confident in 55% other stocks. The consolidated Growth Rank also has a low rank of 47, which means that the company is below average in terms of growth momentum when looking at financial metrics such as revenue, profit, invested capital growth, and stock returns. 53 of its competitors have better growth. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a 360° Rank of 77, Aurubis is better than 77% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. The picture is mixed here. The stock seems to be a good value (Value Rank of 71), and the financing structure is on the safer side (Safety Rank of 98). However, sentiment in the professional investor community is below-average (Sentiment Rank of 45), as is the growth momentum for the company (Growth Rank of 47). While everybody wants to buy at low stock prices (good value), professionals’ skepticism may mean that the low price is justified. Even though the financing structure is not as important as Value, Growth, and Sentiment, investors should still be careful with this decision and conduct further research if they are serious about investing in this company. ...read more
Sentiment Strategy: Professional Market Sentiment for Aurubis only reserved
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Sentiment Rank of 45 (better than 45% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock Aurubis is below industry average. The Sentiment Rank is based on consolidating four sentiment indicators, with half of the indicators below and above average for Aurubis. Analyst Opinions are at a rank of 30 (worse than 70% of alternative investments), which means that currently, stock research analysts tend to warn against investing in the stock of the company. But they are changing their opinions! Analyst Opinions Change has a rank of 72 which means that stock research experts are changing their opinions for the better. In other words, they are getting more optimistic of stock investments in Aurubis. Market Pulse is also positive with a rank of 68, which means that the current professional news and professional social networks are positive in their discussions about this company (more positive news than for 68% of competitors). Only professional investors tend to be absent with a Professional Investors rank of 41, which means that professional investors hold less stock in this company than in 59% of alternative investment opportunities. Pros tend to invest in other companies. But that could also be due to the size of the company. Professional investors tend to invest in XL and XXL companies. If the company is smaller than that, that fact alone may explain why there are fewer pros present. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With an Obermatt Sentiment Rank of 45 (less encouraging than 55% compared with investment alternatives), Aurubis has a reputation among professional investors that is below that of its competitors. Since analysts are getting more optimistic and the professional communication channels are positive, it may be an indication of a company that has the difficult times behind it or is getting less expensive for what they are. For medium to smaller companies, the positive sentiment indicators outshine the negative. ...read more
Value Strategy: Aurubis Stock Price Value better than average
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 71 (better than 71% compared with alternatives), Aurubis shares are more attractively priced than the majority of comparable stocks. The Value Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with three out of four indicators above average for Aurubis. Price-to-Sales (P/S) has a value of 93, which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future sales is lower than 93% of comparable companies, indicating a good value concerning Aurubis's revenue size. The same is valid for expected Price to Profits (or Price / Earnings, P/E), more favorable than 59% of alternatives, and it's also true for Price-to-Book Capital (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) with an Obermatt Price-to-Capital Rank of 80. But, compared with other companies in the same industry, dividend yields are expected to be lower than average; only 21% of all competitors have even lower dividend yields than Aurubis (an Obermatt Dividend Yield Rank of 21). 79% alternative investments in the same business provide a higher dividend yield. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 71, is a BUY recommendation based on Aurubis's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. The below-average dividend yield may be a good sign, as it could mean the company has more attractive investment opportunities for the generated cash than to pay it out as dividends. A low dividend yield can also indicate a growth phase. ...read more
Growth Strategy: Aurubis Growth Momentum low
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Growth Rank of 47 (better than 47% compared with alternatives), Aurubis shows a below-average growth dynamic in its industry. There is limited momentum in this company. The Growth Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with all but one indicator above average for Aurubis. Sales Growth has a value of 74 which means that currently professionals expect the company to grow more than 74% of its competitors. Profit Growth with a value of 56 and Capital Growth with a rank of 50 means that currently, professionals expect the company to grow both profits and invested capital more than of its competitors. But Stock Returns has only a rank of 27, which means that stock returns have recently been below 73% of alternative investments. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 47, is a HOLD recommendation for growth and momentum investors. Aurubis has only one below-average growth indicator, the stock returns. This is probably the least reliable growth indicator, because it measures company and investor expectations at the same time. The three other growth indicators, which are all positive for Aurubis, are more reliable measures of growth momentum. For this reason, the company seems to be on a good trajectory, unless you think the current period is not representative, because of unique events that will not be repeated in the future. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: With an Obermatt Safety Rank of 98 (better than 98% compared with alternatives), Aurubis has a financing structure that is significantly safer than that of its competitors. These three positive financing indicators signal that the company is less likely to default on its debt obligations.

Shares of Aurubis are a good value (attractively priced) with a consolidated Obermatt Value Rank of 71 (better than 71% of alternatives), are safely financed (Safety Rank of 98, which means low debt burdens), but show below-average growth (Growth Rank of 47). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: An Obermatt Combined Rank of 86, is a strong buy recommendation based on Aurubis's financial characteristics. As the company Aurubis's key financial metrics exhibit good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 71) but low growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 47) while being safely financed (Obermatt Safety Rank of 98), it may be a safer investment because companies with low debt can better withstand times of crises. The good value, better than 71% of comparable companies, may also indicate that the company's future is challenging. If you believe that low growth is temporary or just due to a specific current event, you may conclude that the good value of the stock provides an attractive investment opportunity and the downside is limited due to below-average financing risks. ...read more
