Top 10 Stock Bendigo And Adelaide Bank Sell 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.

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 10, Bendigo And Adelaide Bank is worse than 90% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. This means that Bendigo And Adelaide Bank shares are on the riskier side for investors. Only one of the consolidated Obermatt Ranks exhibits above-average performance, namely the Value Rank at a level of 68. All other ranks are below average, so proceed with caution. The company has below-average growth expectations (Growth Rank of 21), a riskier financing structure than the competition (Safety Rank of 21), and the market sentiment in the professional investor community ranking at (Sentiment Rank of 5) is negative. This combination is sensitive to a crisis, because high debt levels (low safety) require growth to finance the debt burden. It’s no wonder that the investor community indicators are skeptical (low sentiment). Good value is sometimes an indication that the company's future is challenging. The below-par growth performance may be the reason for this assessment. We recommend evaluating whether the future of Bendigo And Adelaide Bank is as challenging as the low price of the stock suggests. Since the professional community is pessimistic, you might need to worry about the future of Bendigo And Adelaide Bank.
