Top 10 Stock Electrolux Hold 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° View of 41 (better than 41% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock Electrolux are below the industry average. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with half of the metrics below and half above average for Electrolux. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 60, which means that the share price of Electrolux is on the lower side compared with the typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital. This means the stock price is lower than for 60% of alternative stocks in the same industry. The consolidated Growth Rank has a good rank of 96, which means that the company experiences above-average growth momentum when looking at financial metrics such as revenue, profit, and invested capital growth as well as stock returns. But the professional market sentiment is below average compared with other stock investment alternatives with a Sentiment Rank of 36. Professional investors are more confident in 64% other stocks. Worryingly, the company has risky financing, with a Safety rank of 4. This means 96% of comparable companies have a safer financing structure than Electrolux. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a 360° View of 41, Electrolux is worse than 59% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. Even though half of the consolidated Obermatt Ranks are above-average, namely the Value Rank at 60 and the Growth Rank above-average at 96, the picture is still mixed. The professional investor community is skeptical, with the Sentiment Rank below-average at 36. In addition, the company financing structure is on the riskier side (Safety Rank of 4). Since the company is good value and the share price low, it should attract investors, yet professionals are skeptical. One may be tempted by above-average growth, but that could also change quickly, as past performance is not a good indicator of future performance. Since the financing structure is on the risky side, investors should 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 Electrolux only reserved
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Sentiment Rank of 36 (better than 36% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock Electrolux is below industry average. The Sentiment Rank is based on consolidating four sentiment indicators, with three out of four metrics below average for Electrolux. Analyst Opinions are at a rank of 27 (worse than 73% 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 76, which means that stock research experts have found something to make them more positive about investing in the company. In other words, they are getting more optimistic of stock investments in Electrolux. But the Professional Investors rank is low at 25, which means that professional investors hold less stock in this company than in 75% of alternative investment opportunities. Pros tend to invest in other companies. Market Pulse is also low at a rank of 15, which means that the current professional news and professional social networks tend to be negative when discussing this company (more negative news than for 85% of competitors). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With an Obermatt Sentiment Rank of 36 (less encouraging than 64% compared with investment alternatives), Electrolux has a reputation among professional investors that is below that of its competitors. These are quite a few negative sentiment signals. One may want to trust the analysts that are changing their opinions. They may be early indications of better times, especially if the company is a smaller one. But If they are an extra large company, they should have more professional stockholders than are currently present. ...read more
Value Strategy: Electrolux Stock Price Value better than average
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 60 (better than 60% compared with alternatives), Electrolux shares are more attractively priced than the majority of comparable stocks. The Value Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, where half the indicators are below and half above average for Electrolux. Price-to-Sales (P/S) is 87, which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future sales is lower than for 87% of comparable companies, indicating a good value concerning Electrolux's revenue size. The same is valid for dividend yields with a Dividend Yield rank of 69, which means that dividends are expected to be higher than for 69% of comparable investments. On the other hand, the Price-to-Book Capital ratio (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) is less favorable than for 73% of alternatives (only 27% of peers have an even higher ratio). The same is valid for the Price-to-Profit (or Price / Earnings, P/E) ratio, which is higher than for 54% of comparable companies, making the stock more expensive compared with the company's expected profit levels. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 60, is a BUY recommendation based on Electrolux's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. This is a somewhat surprising picture, because it means that profits are low while dividends are high. One interpretation could be that profits are expected to increase, justifying the high dividend payments. But it could also mean that the company desperately keeps the high dividends to avoid a collapsing share price. This would be a rather dangerous constellation. ...read more
Growth Strategy: Electrolux Growth Momentum high
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Growth Rank of 96 (better than 96% compared with alternatives) for 2023, Electrolux shows one of the highest growth dynamics in its industry. Investors also speak of high momentum. The Growth Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with all but one indicator above average for Electrolux. Profit Growth has a rank of 98 which means that currently professionals expect the company to grow its profits more than 98% of its competitors. The same is valid for capital growth and stock returns. Capital Growth has a rank of 59, and Stock Returns has a rank of 85 which means that the stock returns have recently been above 85% of alternative investments. Only revenue growth is low with a Sales Growth has a rank of 41 (59% of its competitors are better). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 96, is a BUY recommendation for growth and momentum investors. The many positive growth indicators indicate a positive growth momentum with only low revenue growth. That can also be attributed to divestments or the sale of unprofitable businesses. If that is the reason, overall growth is well on track to making this stock attractive for growth investors. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Safety Rank of 4 (better than 4% compared with alternatives), the company Electrolux has much riskier financing practices than comparable other companies, which means that their overall debt burden is significantly above the industry average. This doesn't mean that the business of Electrolux is also risky, it only means that the company is on the riskier side in respect to bankruptcy in case things turn sour, assuming that public reporting is correct. The Safety Rank is based on consolidating three financing indicators, with all three metrics below average for Electrolux. Liquidity is at 25, meaning that the company generates less profit to service its debt than 75% of its competitors. This indicates that the company is on the riskier side when it comes to debt service. Even worse, Leverage is at a rank of 5, meaning the company has an above-average debt-to-equity ratio. It has more debt than 95% of its competitors. Finally, Refinancing is at a rank of 4 which means that the portion of the debt about to be refinanced is above average. It has more debt in the refinancing stage than 96% of its competitors. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With an Obermatt Safety Rank of 4 (worse than 96% compared with alternatives), Electrolux has a financing structure that is significantly riskier than that of its competitors. This combination is rather dangerous in most situations. Only very promising companies with bright future outlooks and stellar reputations can operate with such risky financing. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 41 (worse than 59% compared with investment alternatives), Electrolux (Household Appliances, Sweden) shares have somewhat below-average financial characteristics compared with similar stocks. Shares of Electrolux are a good value (attractively priced) with a consolidated Obermatt Value Rank of 60 (better than 60% of alternatives), show above-average growth (Growth Rank of 96) but are riskily financed (Safety Rank of 4), which means above-average debt burdens. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: An Obermatt Combined Rank of 41, is a hold recommendation based on Electrolux's financial characteristics. As the company Electrolux's key financial metrics exhibit excellent performance in two areas, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 60) and above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 96), it could be argued that the risk-taking in financing (Obermatt Safety Rank of only 4) indicates that the company is optimistic about the future and sees debt as an opportunity to boost returns. More debt means more shareholder returns if everything goes well. However, higher debt burdens are risky when interest rates rise or the business deteriorates in a crisis. If you believe the company's future is market-typical or even better, this could be an argument for a share purchase. ...read more
