Top 10 Stock Skanska 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 59 (better than 59% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock Skanska are above average. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with three out of four indicators above average for Skanska. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 58, which means that the share price of Skanska is on the lower side compared with the typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital. This means the stock price is lower than for 58% of alternative stocks in the same industry. The consolidated Growth Rank has a good rank of 58, 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. The company is also safely financed with a Safety Rank of 76. But the professional market sentiment is below average compared with other stock investment alternatives with a Sentiment Rank of only 22. Professional investors are more confident in 78% other stocks. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 59, Skanska is better positioned than 59% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. As three out of four consolidated Obermatt Ranks exhibit excellent performance, such as good value (Value Rank of 58), above-average growth (Growth Rank of 58), and safe financing practices (Safety Rank of 76), it is a solid stock investment where the risk of paying too much for the shares is limited, and disappointments are less likely, unless information not publicly available. Only the professional market sentiment is on the riskier side (Sentiment Rank of 22), but that could also mean an overreaction to negative news in the past. Good value is sometimes an indication that the company's future is challenging. If they have been enjoying above average growth and are still a good value, this may not continue. We recommend evaluating whether the future of Skanska is as challenging as the low price of the stock despite good growth and safe financing practices suggest. Since the professional community is pessimistic, you may want to reflect these negative opinions in light of what you find reasonable to expect for the future. If you believe this pessimistic view is transitory, you have a solid investment case based on current financial factors. ...read more
Sentiment Strategy: Professional Market Sentiment for Skanska negative
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Sentiment Rank of 22 (better than 22% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock Skanska is critical, mostly below average. The Sentiment Rank is based on consolidating four sentiment indicators, with half the indicators below and half above average for Skanska. Analyst Opinions are at a rank of 27 (worse than 73% of alternative investments), which means that currently, stock research analysts tend to warn against investing in the stock of the company. Worse, Analyst Opinions Change has a rank of 34, which means that stock research experts are getting even more pessimistic. In addition, the Professional Investors rank is 36, which means that professional investors hold less stock in this company than in 64% of alternative investment opportunities.

The only positive sentiment indicator for Skanska is Market Pulse, with a rank of 54, which means that the current professional news and professional social networks tend to be positive when discussing this company (more positive news than for 54% of competitors). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Sentiment Rank of 22 (less encouraging than 78% compared with investment alternatives), Skanska has a reputation among professional investors that is far below that of its competitors. This is an ambiguous picture: analysts are negative and getting even more critical while the news in the market is positive. Who should investors believe? This is a difficult question in such a situation. Investors should proceed cautiously and verify not only the financial performance in the Obermatt Value, Growth and Safety Ranks but also independent news coverage of the company. ...read more
Value Strategy: Skanska Stock Price Value better than average

Price-to-Sales is 53 which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future sales is lower than for 53% of comparable companies, indicating a good value for Skanska's revenue size. The same is valid for expected Price-to-Profits, more favorable than for 59% of alternatives, and this is also true for the Price-to-Book capital ratio (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) with a Price-to-Capital Rank of 60. Compared with other companies in the same industry, dividend yields of Skanska are expected to be higher than for 64% of all competitors (a Dividend Yield rank of 64). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 58, is a buy recommendation based on Skanska's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields.

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 58, is a buy recommendation for growth and momentum investors. Are investors forecasting troubles based on the lack of operating investment activity at the company? This could be one explanation as to why stock returns are low. But stock returns can also be the result of correcting an error in the past, in this case, an overly optimistic outlook on the future, which is now more realistic. The Value Ranks may confirm such a picture. The more important growth indicators are revenues and profits, which are both above average for Skanska. This is a positive sign from the company's operational side and may give investors courage, despite the poor recent stock price performance. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Safety Rank of 76 (better than 76% compared with alternatives) for 2025, the company Skanska has safe financing practices, which means that their overall debt burden is low. This doesn't mean that the business of Skanska is safe, it only means that the company is on the safer side regarding possible bankruptcy, assuming that public reporting is correct. The Safety Rank is based on consolidating three financing indicators, where all three are above average for Skanska. Leverage is at 67, meaning the company has a below-average debt-to-equity ratio. It has less debt than 67% of its competitors. Refinancing is at a rank of 70, meaning that the portion of the debt about to be refinanced is below average. It has less debt in the refinancing stage than 70% of its competitors.

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Safety Rank of 76 (better than 76% compared with alternatives), Skanska has a financing structure that is significantly safer than that of its competitors.

RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 78, is a strong buy recommendation based on Skanska's financial characteristics. As the company Skanska's key financial metrics all exhibit excellent performance, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 58), above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 58), and indicate that the company is safely financed (Obermatt Safety Rank of 76), 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 Skanska. If you believe the company's future is market-typical or even better, this could be an argument for a share purchase. ...read more
