Top 10 Stock Orell Füssli 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.

The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with half the metrics below and half above average for Orell Füssli. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 50, which means that the share price of Orell Füssli is on the lower side compared with the typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital.

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 27, Orell Füssli is worse than 73% 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 50), and the financing structure is on the safer side (Safety Rank of 96). However, sentiment in the professional investor community is below-average (Sentiment Rank of 12), as is the growth momentum for the company (Growth Rank of 23). Since the company is good value and the share price low, it should attract investors, yet professionals are skeptical. 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

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.

Value Strategy: Orell Füssli Stock Price Value better than average
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 50 (better than 50% compared with alternatives), Orell Füssli shares are more attractively priced than the majority of comparable stocks. The Value Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with half of the indicators below and half above average for Orell Füssli. Expected dividend yields are higher than for 85% of comparable companies (a Dividend Yield rank of 85), 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 67, which means that the stock price is lower compared with invested capital than for 67% of comparable investments. But in respect to sales and profits, the picture is reversed. Price-to-Sales is 46 which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future profits is higher than for 54% of comparable companies, indicating a low value concerning Orell Füssli's sales levels. The Price-to-Profit ratio (also referred to as price-earnings (P/E) ratio) is also unfavorable for Orell Füssli with a rank of 30. This means that the stock price, compared with what market professionals expect for future profits, is higher than for 70% of comparable companies, indicating a low value concerning Orell Füssli's profit levels. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 50, is a buy recommendation based on Orell Füssli'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, Orell Füssli 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

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 23, is a sell recommendation for growth and momentum investors. The good news from the invested capital side is surprising. A company with disappointing revenues, profits, and disappointed shareholders typically doesn't invest above average. Overall, the growth momentum for Orell Füssli is thus negative. As it is intriguing to see that company executives are optimistic about their investment policy, it is worthwhile looking into the details of the capital investment projects. They may indicate future growth and profits and thus if accompanied by a good value, a sign of good timing to invest in the stock. ...read more

Shares of Orell Füssli are a good value (attractively priced) with a consolidated Value Rank of 50 (better than 50% of alternatives), are safely financed (Safety Rank of 96, which means low debt burdens), but show below-average growth (Growth Rank of 23). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 62, is a buy recommendation based on Orell Füssli's financial characteristics. As the company Orell Füssli's key financial metrics exhibit good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 50) but low growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 23) while being safely financed (Obermatt Safety Rank of 96), it may be a safer investment because companies with low debt can better withstand times of crises. Yet the good value, better than 50% 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
