Top 10 Stock Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration Sell 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 10 (better than 10% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration are critical, mostly below average. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with all four indicators below average for Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration. The consolidated Value Rank has a low rank of 41 which means that the share price of Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration is on the higher side compared with typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital. This means the stock price is higher than for 59% of alternative stocks in the same industry. The consolidated Growth Rank also has a low rank of 5, which means that the company exhibits below-average growth momentum when looking at financial metrics such as revenue, profit, and invested capital growth as well as stock returns. This means that growth is lower than for 5% of competitors in the same industry. The consolidated Safety Rank has a riskier rank of 36, which means that the company has a riskier financing structure than 64% comparable companies when looking at the amount of its debt, its refinancing requirements, and its ability to service debt. Finally, the consolidated Sentiment Rank has a low rank of 31, which means that professional investors are more pessimistic about the stock than for 69% of alternative investment opportunities. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 10, Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration is worse than 90% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. This means that Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration shares are on the riskier side for investors. As all consolidated Obermatt Ranks are below-average, this is a risky stock investment proposition, especially since professional investor sentiment, the consolidated Obermatt Sentiment Rank, is also low at 31. The negative market view on Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration may stem from the high stock price (low value), the low level of growth, or the risky financing structures. That's several problems with no good news anywhere. Based on the current information, we don’t see any compelling arguments to make a case for this stock investment. The company may have a strong future which would justify the high stock price, but this is not confirmed by investor behavior today. While Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration may have a bright future, it is reflected in neither the financial indicators nor the market sentiment. ...read more
Sentiment Strategy: Professional Market Sentiment for Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration only reserved
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Sentiment Rank of 31 (better than 31% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration is below industry average. The Sentiment Rank is based on consolidating four sentiment indicators, with half of the indicators below and above average for Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration. Analyst Opinions are at a rank of 12 (worse than 88% 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 50 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 Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration. Market Pulse is also positive with a rank of 91, which means that the current professional news and professional social networks are positive in their discussions about this company (more positive news than for 91% of competitors). Only professional investors tend to be absent with a Professional Investors rank of 6, which means that professional investors hold less stock in this company than in 94% 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 a consolidated Sentiment Rank of 31 (less encouraging than 69% compared with investment alternatives), Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration 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 the stocks’ value is improving. For medium to smaller companies, the positive sentiment indicators outshine the negative. ...read more
Value Strategy: Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration Stock Price Value below-average critical
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 41 (worse than 59% compared with alternatives), Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration shares are more expensive than the average comparable stock. The Value Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with half of the indicators below and half above average for Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration. Expected dividend yields are higher than for 55% of comparable companies (a Dividend Yield rank of 55), making the stock attractive. The same is valid for Price-to-Book Capital (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) with a Price-to-Book Rank of 97, which means that the stock price is lower compared with invested capital than for 97% of comparable investments. But in respect to sales and profits, the picture is reversed. Price-to-Sales is 32 which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future profits is higher than for 68% of comparable companies, indicating a low value concerning Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration's sales levels. The Price-to-Profit ratio (also referred to as price-earnings (P/E) ratio) is also unfavorable for Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration with a rank of 5. This means that the stock price, compared with what market professionals expect for future profits, is higher than for 95% of comparable companies, indicating a low value concerning Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration's profit levels. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 41, is a hold recommendation based on Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. The company seems confident that it can generate a reasonable return on invested capital, because it pays an above-average dividend while profits are below what you would expect for a company with this stock price. If you agree with this practice and believe that profits will return to higher levels, as the current dividend policy suggests, Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration may be an attractive investment. If this is not the case, you may want to be careful with this stock as it is also expensive compared with its expected revenue levels. ...read more
Growth Strategy: Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration Growth Momentum negative
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Growth Rank of 5 (better than 5% compared with alternatives), Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration shows one of the most restricted growth dynamics in its industry. There is little momentum in this company. The Growth Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with all four metrics below average for Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration. Sales Growth has a rank of 3, which means that currently professionals expect the company to grow less than 97% of its competitors. The same is valid for Profit Growth, with a rank of 17, and Capital Growth with 15. In addition, Stock Returns have a below market rank of 21, which means that the stock returns have recently been below 79% of alternative investments. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 5, is a sell recommendation for growth and momentum investors. These are all bad growth momentum indicators. These are negative signals for investors interested in growth companies. Value is likely good for this company, as investors may have left this stock in the cold. If that is the case, investors should look at the company's outlook, especially Sentiment performance, because it may be a turnaround situation that could entail above-average stock returns in the future. But it remains a risky bet, as no growth signals are in the green zone yet. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Safety Rank of 36 (better than 36% compared with alternatives), the company Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration has financing practices on the riskier side, which means that their overall debt burden is above the industry average. This doesn't mean that the business of Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration 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 just one indicator above average for Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration and the other two below average. Refinancing is at 81, meaning the portion of the debt about to be refinanced is below average. It has less debt in the refinancing stage than 81% of its competitors. But Leverage is high with a rank of 32, meaning the company has an above-average debt-to-equity ratio. It has more debt than 68% of its competitors. Liquidity is also on the riskier side with a rank of 8, meaning the company generates less profit to service its debt than 92% of its competitors. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Safety Rank of 36 (worse than 64% compared with alternatives), Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration has a financing structure that is riskier than that of its competitors. A good Refinancing Rank means that the problems of the company may not be around the corner. But high Leverage is only good if things go well, and low Liquidity is a signal for caution. The financing signals for Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration are on the riskier side, requiring the company's future to be on the safer side. Investors may want to look at Growth and Sentiment ranks before making an investment decision. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 10 (worse than 90% compared with investment alternatives), Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration (Commodity Chemicals, Taiwan) shares have lower financial characteristics compared with similar stocks. Shares of Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration are low in value (priced high) with a consolidated Value Rank of 41 (worse than 59% of alternatives), show below-average growth (Growth Rank of 5), and are riskily financed (Safety Rank of 36), which means above-average debt burdens. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 10, is a sell recommendation based on Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration's financial characteristics. As the company Grand Pacific Petrochemicaloration's key financial metrics all exhibit below-average performance, such as low value (Obermatt Value Rank of 41), low growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 5), and risky financing practices (Obermatt Safety Rank of 36), it is a somewhat questionable stock investment, where the risk of paying too much for the shares is significant, unless the company has an exceptionally bright future. Such poor financial performance sometimes indicates that the company's business is all concentrated in some distant future. This is sometimes the case for high-tech or biotechnology companies. If they own properties that only provide cash flows in the future, the stock may look excessively expensive and risky today. In such cases, the Obermatt Method has limited value as it is based on facts we can observe today. If the facts are all in the future, stock investing becomes guesswork, and this should only be a driver in a limited number of investments that should only amount to a small fraction of a safe portfolio. ...read more
