The Obermatt Method

Obermatt analyzes stocks using financial facts and peer reviews to deliver unbiased insights that outperform traditional analysis.

Data-Driven Stock Analysis That Outperforms

Traditional stock analysis disappoints. Analysts face conflicts of interest, media pundits chase ratings, and even well-intentioned advisors fall victim to bias. The result? Investors chase yesterday's winners and miss tomorrow's opportunities. The Obermatt Method offers a fundamental shift. Instead of relying on subjective opinions or absolute metrics that fluctuate with market mood, we've developed a systematic approach that reveals true competitive performance through peer comparison. It's time for a better way.

The Science of Superior Performance

The method for objective and independent stock analysis

Markets are psychological battlegrounds where fear and greed drive prices far from fundamental value. While mainstream investors chase trending stocks featured in financial media, our methodology systematically scans the entire market universe, analyzing thousands of companies across sectors, geographies, and market caps that individual investors simply don't have time to research. Traditional analysis fails during market extremes; great companies look terrible in bear markets, while mediocre firms shine in bull runs. Our relative ranking system maintains consistency across all market conditions. A company whose profits decline by 10% while its competitors drop by 30% demonstrates superior management and resilience. Our ranks capture this outperformance while absolute metrics miss it entirely.

Human psychology sabotages investment returns through well-documented cognitive biases: recency bias, confirmation bias, and many more. Our algorithmic approach operates without emotion, processing thousands of data points objectively. Consider a popular electric vehicle manufacturer during market euphoria, showing a Growth Rank of 95 but a Value Rank of only 15; while momentum traders chase the story, our methodology reveals the risk-reward imbalance. The result? Consistent outperformance versus market indices, lower drawdowns during corrections, and recommendations based solely on financial reality, not psychological traps that cost investors billions annually.

From Raw Data to Actionable Intelligence

A Three-step Transformation Process
  • Financial Metrics to Percentile Ranks (1-100).
    We collect data from company filings, market transactions, and sentiment indicators and convert them into percentile ranks. A rank of 75 means a company outperforms 75% of its peers in that specific metric, instantly showing you where a company excels or lags.
  • Strategic Rank Combinations
    Individual metrics tell only part of the story. Our proprietary algorithms combine related metrics into investment-focused ranks that matter for decision-making: Safety, Growth, Value, Combined, Sentiment, and 360° View.
  • Top 10 Stock Recommendations
    Our highest-ranking stocks across various strategies comprise our carefully curated Top 10 lists, which are updated quarterly.

The Foundation:

Indexing company performance

Obermatt indexes company performance through a rigorous computational process. We systematically compare each company's metrics against its true peers: companies that operate in similar markets, follow comparable business cycles, face equivalent regulatory environments, and compete for the same customers. This peer universe selection is critical. A pharmaceutical company shouldn't be compared to a software firm, even if they're similar in size. This peer-based approach reveals genuine outperformers regardless of market conditions. When markets rise, we identify companies rising fastest. When markets fall, we spot those with the strongest resilience. By measuring performance relatively rather than absolutely, we eliminate the noise of market volatility and expose true competitive advantage.

Benefits of the Obermatt Method

Institutional-Quality Analysis Made Simple

Democratizing professional investment tools

Wall Street's advantage has always been access to data, analysis, and computational power. The Obermatt Method levels this playing field. Our rank system makes institutional-quality analysis accessible to everyone, regardless of financial background. No need to decipher balance sheets, calculate complex ratios, or understand options Greeks. If a company ranks 85 in Value, it's more attractively priced than 85% of its competitors — a simple, clear, and actionable metric.

True Fee Transparency and Aligned Incentives
Traditional financial services profit from complexity and activity. Banks earn commissions on trades. Advisors push high-fee products. Fund managers collect fees regardless of performance. These misaligned incentives cost investors billions annually. Our subscription model flips this dynamic. We succeed only when our research helps you grow. No hidden agendas, no pressure to trade, no conflicts of interest — just pure, unbiased analysis. The cost of our service is transparent, predictable, and typically recovered through a single avoided investment mistake.

Compound Your Time and Knowledge
Manual stock research is both time-intensive and prone to error. Analyzing a single company properly requires hours of spreadsheet work, ratio calculations, and peer comparisons. Multiply that by a diversified portfolio, and it becomes a full-time job. Our comprehensive weekly updates deliver everything you need in minutes:

  • Ranks for thousands of stocks
  • Peer group comparisons already complete
  • Multi-factor analysis integrated
  • Educational resources to deepen understanding

Make Sense of the Ranks

The higher, the better. For every stock, we judge its performance against its peers and rank it on a scale of 1 to 100. These ranks are percentiles: a rank of 75 means the company outperforms 75% of its peers in that specific area. The higher the rank, the better the stock stacks up against its peers.
