Top 10 Stock Rubis Strong 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 100 (better than 100% compared with alternatives) for 2025, overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock Rubis are very positive. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with all four indicators above average for Rubis. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 96, which means that the share price of Rubis 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 100, Rubis is better positioned than 100% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. As all consolidated Obermatt Ranks exhibit excellent performance, such as good value (Value Rank of 96), above-average growth (Growth Rank of 85), safe financing practices (Safety Rank of 82), and a positive market sentiment in the professional investor community (Sentiment Rank of 57), it is a solid stock investment where the risk of paying too much for the shares is limited and disappointments are less likely to occur, unless information not publicly available. High-Value Ranks sometimes indicate that the company's future is challenging. If they are safely financed and have above average growth, and are still a good value, it may indicate that this will not continue. We recommend evaluating whether the future of Rubis is as difficult as the stock’s low price, despite what good growth and safe financing practice suggest. Since the professional community is optimistic, you might have less to worry about, and the stock is just not sufficiently visible, which may indicate good timing right now. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 85, is a buy recommendation for growth and momentum investors. All three operating growth indicators, namely revenue, profit, and capital growth, are showing improvements. This is a good indication of a company with a positive future. That might, at the same time, be the simple reason why profit growth is low. A growing company needs money and thus can't yet show high profit growth. Look out for signs in corporate communication about extra growth efforts costing time and money. If that is the case, Rubis is a good growth stock. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 100, is a strong buy recommendation based on Rubis's financial characteristics. As the company Rubis's key financial metrics all exhibit excellent performance, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 96), above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 85), and indicate that the company is safely financed (Obermatt Safety Rank of 82), 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.
