Top 10 Stock Vilmorin & Cie 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 87 (better than 87% compared with alternatives) for 2023, overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock Vilmorin & Cie are very positive. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with all but one indicator above average for Vilmorin & Cie. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 67, which means that the share price of Vilmorin & Cie is on the lower side compared with typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital.

RECOMMENDATION: With a 360° View of 87, Vilmorin & Cie is better than 87% 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 67), above-average growth (Growth Rank of 77), and positive market sentiment in the professional investor community (Sentiment Rank of 94), 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 company financing structure is on the riskier side (Safety Rank of 35), but that would also mean better returns for shareholders if things work out well. Good value is sometimes an indication that the company's future is challenging. If they have been growing above average and are still a good value, it may indicate that this will not continue. We recommend evaluating whether the future of Vilmorin & Cie is as difficult as the low price of the stock, despite good growth and positive professional investor sentiment, suggests. Since the professional community is optimistic, you might have less to worry about, and the stock is just not sufficiently visible right now, which may indicate good timing. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 77, is a BUY recommendation for growth and momentum investors. This is a surprising picture, as the messages from the operating growth indicators of revenues, profits, and invested capital are mixed, while stock returns are above average. It may indicate new intellectual properties, such as brand improvement or a strong market position that shows in revenues but not in the capital. The low profit-growth rate may indicate an early phase where costs are still high, and revenues don't fully cover upfront investments or fixed costs. The positive investor outlook with a 96% peer outperformance is reaffirmed in this case which may be a good sign for an investment into a well-protected high-growth company. This fact needs to be confirmed by researching the company website and press. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Safety Rank of 35 (better than 35% compared with alternatives), the company Vilmorin & Cie has financing practices on the riskier side, which means that their overall debt burden is above the industry average.

The Safety Rank is based on consolidating three financing indicators, with just one indicator above average for Vilmorin & Cie and the other two below average.

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 71 (better than 71% compared with investment alternatives), Vilmorin & Cie (Agricultural Products, France) shares have above-average financial characteristics compared with similar stocks. Shares of Vilmorin & Cie are a good value (attractively priced) with a consolidated Obermatt Value Rank of 67 (better than 67% of alternatives), show above-average growth (Growth Rank of 77) but are riskily financed (Safety Rank of 35), which means above-average debt burdens. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: An Obermatt Combined Rank of 71, is a buy recommendation based on Vilmorin & Cie's financial characteristics. As the company Vilmorin & Cie's key financial metrics exhibit excellent performance in two areas, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 67) and above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 77), it could be argued that the risk-taking in financing (Obermatt Safety Rank of only 35) indicates that the company is optimistic about the future and sees debt as an opportunity to boost returns. More debt means more shareholder returns if everything goes well. However, higher debt burdens are risky when interest rates rise or the business deteriorates in a crisis. If you believe the company's future is market-typical or even better, this could be an argument for a share purchase. ...read more
