Top 10 Stock Morgan Sindall 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° View of 74 (better than 74% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock Morgan Sindall are above average. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with all but one indicator above average for Morgan Sindall. The consolidated Growth Rank has a good rank of 76, 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. This means that growth is higher than for 76% of competitors in the same industry.

Finally, the consolidated Sentiment Rank has a good rank of 90, which means that professional investors are more optimistic about the stock than for 90% of alternative investment opportunities.

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 74, Morgan Sindall is better positioned than 74% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. As three out of four consolidated Obermatt Ranks exhibit excellent performance, such as above-average growth (Growth Rank of 76), a safe financing structure (Safety Rank of 76), and positive professional market sentiment (Sentiment Rank of 90), it is a solid stock investment where growth may be the strongest driver of the investment rationale, also reflected by institutional investors. It is typical for growth companies to have low value, as is the case here. Investors are willing to pay more for companies that outperform their competitors. So the question is, how much more do you pay for the stock of Morgan Sindall compared with alternatives? You can use the following rule of thumb: The growth rank measures the growth momentum of the company (76% better than peers). The value rank could be the reverse reflection of that (24%). A Value Rank below that level may be assessed as expensive, a rank above that is still good value. Sometimes market sentiment just reflects the past, sometimes the reality. You pay more than the market average for this stock, but it may be worth it. ...read more

Since Price-to-Sales is a stable value indicator even in challenging times, investing in Morgan Sindall could be seen as a value investment. However, there must be a good reason for the low market-to-book rank. If the company has a typical capital investment practice, the stock may be overvalued because the profit and dividend-related performance indicators are also low. The stock is only good value if investors can expect profits and dividends to pick up in the future. Else, Morgan Sindall looks like an expensive investment today. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 52, is a buy recommendation based on Morgan Sindall's financial characteristics. Investors looking for growth and low financial risk may find this stock attractive.
