How to read the free 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.

Rank stock research in summary

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 86 (better than 86% compared with investment alternatives), Rank (Casinos & Gaming, United Kingdom) shares have much better financial characteristics than comparable stocks.

RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 86, is a strong buy recommendation based on Rank's financial characteristics. As the company Rank's key financial metrics all exhibit excellent performance, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 50), above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 86), and indicate that the company is safely financed (Obermatt Safety Rank of 64), it is a solid stock investment where the risk of paying too much for the share is limited, unless the company has a bleak future. Such good financial performance can indicate that the company's future might actually be challenging, as it may be difficult to maintain the good performance. If they are safely financed and have been growing above average, and are still a good value, it means that the market is keeping prices low, for a reason which may become clearer over time. We recommend evaluating the future of Rank. If you believe the company's future is market-typical or even better, this could be an argument for a share purchase.

Value Metrics in Detail

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 50 (better than 50% compared with alternatives), Rank 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 Rank. Price-to-Sales (P/S) is 64, which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future sales is lower than for 64% of comparable companies, indicating a good value concerning Rank's revenue size. The same is valid for the Price-to-Book Capital ratio (also referred to as market-to-book ratio), which is more favorable than for 53% of alternatives (47% of peers have a higher ratio). But expected dividend yields with a Dividend Yield rank of 41 are lower than average (dividends are expected to be lower than 59% of other stocks) while the Price to Profit ratio (or Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio) is higher than average with a Price-to-Profit Rank of 30, 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 50, is a buy recommendation based on Rank's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. Low profits and low dividends as seen here for Rank may indicate a restructuring phase. This could be transitory, making the company a good value when profits recover and dividends return to higher levels. If the stock price is compared with the size indicators for revenue and invested capital, it is on the lower side, making this stock a good value investment (apart from current profit and dividend expectations). We recommend further analyzing the stock with Obermatt’s Value, Safety, and Sentiment Ranks, including the 360° View, before making an investment decision. ...read more

Growth Metrics in Detail

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Growth Rank of 86 (better than 86% compared with alternatives) for 2025, Rank 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 Rank. Sales Growth has a rank of 59 which means that currently, professionals expect the company to grow more than 59% of its competitors. Both Profit Growth, with a rank of 86, and Stock Returns, with a rank of 98, are also above average. But Capital Growth only has a rank of 8, which means that, currently, professionals expect the company to grow its invested capital less than 92% of its competitors. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 86, is a buy recommendation for growth and momentum investors. That may be a good sign if the company is already well positioned and doesn't require more investments at this time. They may focus on growing the top (revenues) and bottom (profits) lines, recently rewarded with above-average stock returns for shareholders. But it may also be a sign of danger as the company is falling back with capital investment activities concerning competition. This requires further analysis of corporate communications. While momentum is a popular investment factor, the value aspect might be the more important one, in the longer term. We recommend analyzing the stock with Obermatt’s Value, Safety, and Sentiment Ranks to arrive at a 360° View of the stock purchase case. ...read more

Safety Metrics in Detail

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Safety Rank of 64 (better than 64% compared with alternatives), the company Rank has financing practices on the safer side, which mean that their overall debt burden is lower than average. This doesn't mean that the business of Rank is safe, it only means that the company is on the safer side regarding possible bankruptcy, assuming that public reporting is correct.

Leverage is at a rank of 73 meaning the company has a below-average debt-to-equity ratio. It has less debt than 73% of its competitors.Refinancing is at a rank of 48, which means that the portion of the debt about to be refinanced is above-average. It has more debt in the refinancing stage than 52% of its competitors. Liquidity is at a rank of 48, meaning that the company generates less profit to service its debt than 52% of its competitors. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Safety Rank of 64 (better than 64% compared with alternatives), Rank has a financing structure that is safer than that of its competitors. This is an indication that the company is on the riskier side when it comes to debt service. There is only below-market average liquidity, and a short-term refinancing issue might be around the corner. But in the long-term, the debt levels of Rank are on the safer side. Investors may have a short-term debt challenge and liquidity issues with Rank and should also compare Obermatt’s Value, Growth, and Sentiment Ranks before making a decision. ...read more
