Top 10 Stock Beneteau 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 81 (better than 81% compared with alternatives) for 2025, overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock Beneteau are very positive. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with half of the indicators below and half above average for Beneteau. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 64, which means that the share price of Beneteau is on the lower side compared with typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital. This means the stock price is lower than for 64% of alternative stocks in the same industry. The company is also safely financed with a Safety rank of 85. In addition, professional market sentiment is above average compared with other stock investment alternatives with a Sentiment Rank of 100. But the consolidated Growth Rank has a low rank of 34, which means that the company is below average in terms of growth and momentum when looking at financial metrics such as revenue, profit, and invested capital growth as well as stock returns. 66 of its competitors have better growth. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 81, Beneteau is better positioned than 81% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. Three out of four consolidated Obermatt Ranks show above-average performance. The stock has as good value (Value Rank of 64), secure financing practices (Safety Rank of 85), and positive market sentiment in the professional investor community (Sentiment Rank of 100). 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. The company’s growth expectations are below the industry average (Growth Rank of 34), but that could also be temporary since professional investors remain optimistic despite the low growth numbers. The low price as reflected in the good Value Rank could indicate that the company's future is challenging. The below-par growth performance may be the reason for this. Companies that grow less are typically cheaper than fast-growing competitors. We recommend evaluating whether the future of Beneteau is as difficult as the stock’s low price suggests, despite the positive professional investor sentiment. Since the professional community is optimistic, you might have less to worry about, and the stock may just go through a more challenging phase now, indicating good timing. ...read more

Since all market sentiment indicators are positive, the professional community highly recommends investment in the company. Does this mean Beneteau stocks are a safe investment? Far from it. Even professionals make mistakes. Especially in stock investing, there is a tendency to follow the leaders. Since trees don't grow to the heavens, such positive sentiment may also be interpreted as a danger sign. A lot of optimism can often be a sign of troubles to come, albeit unforeseen by most. ...read more
Value Strategy: Beneteau Stock Price Value better than average
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 64 (better than 64% compared with alternatives), Beneteau shares are more attractively priced than the majority of comparable stocks. The Value Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with half of the indicators below and half above average for Beneteau. Expected dividend yields are higher than for 52% of comparable companies (a Dividend Yield rank of 52), making the stock attractive. The same is valid for Price-to-Book Capital (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) with a Price-to-Book Rank of 86, which means that the stock price is lower compared with invested capital than for 86% of comparable investments. But in respect to sales and profits, the picture is reversed. Price-to-Sales is 41 which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future profits is higher than for 59% of comparable companies, indicating a low value concerning Beneteau's sales levels. The Price-to-Profit ratio (also referred to as price-earnings (P/E) ratio) is also unfavorable for Beneteau with a rank of 48. This means that the stock price, compared with what market professionals expect for future profits, is higher than for 52% of comparable companies, indicating a low value concerning Beneteau's profit levels. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 64, is a buy recommendation based on Beneteau's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. The company seems confident that it can generate a reasonable return on invested capital, because it pays an above-average dividend while profits are below what you would expect for a company with this stock price. If you agree with this practice and believe that profits will return to higher levels, as the current dividend policy suggests, Beneteau may be an attractive investment. If this is not the case, you may want to be careful with this stock as it is also expensive compared with its expected revenue levels. ...read more
Growth Strategy: Beneteau Growth Momentum low
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Growth Rank of 34 (better than 34% compared with alternatives), Beneteau shows a below-average growth dynamic in its industry. There is limited momentum in this company. The Growth Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with half of the indicators below and half above average for Beneteau. Sales Growth has a rank of 58 which means that currently, professionals expect the company to grow more than 58% of its competitors. Capital Growth is also above 8% of competitors with a rank of 86. But Profit Growth only has a rank of 8, which means that currently professionals expect the company to grow its profits less than 92% of its competitors. And Stock Returns have also been below average with a rank of only 38. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 34, is a hold recommendation for growth and momentum investors. Profits are sometimes low if the company invests in the future. The positive revenue and capital investment outlook confirms such an interpretation. Both revenues and capital are solid growth indicators, and lower profits in such a case would be encouraging. But the investors see it differently by punishing the share price. Sometimes, Mister Market is not very reliable, because it is not uncommon for it to be volatile. Investors should look out for signs of growth expenditure that could justify low profit growth, and they may also find reasons why recent stock price developments don't confirm the growth outlook of operations. While operating growth indicators are not perfect, they are more reliable indicators for future performance than stock prices that can repeatedly surprise investors. ...read more

These three positive financing indicators signal that the company is less likely to default on its debt obligations. However, it also means that its shareholder returns will be more modest if things go well. A low safety means fewer troubles in downtimes and less upside in good times. ...read more

Shares of Beneteau are a good value (attractively priced) with a consolidated Value Rank of 64 (better than 64% of alternatives), are safely financed (Safety Rank of 85, which means low debt burdens), but show below-average growth (Growth Rank of 34). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 75, is a strong buy recommendation based on Beneteau's financial characteristics. As the company Beneteau's key financial metrics exhibit good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 64) but low growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 34) while being safely financed (Obermatt Safety Rank of 85), it may be a safer investment because companies with low debt can better withstand times of crises. Yet the good value, better than 64% of comparable companies, may also indicate that the company's future is challenging. If you believe that low growth is temporary or just due to a specific current event, you may conclude that the good value of the stock provides an attractive investment opportunity and the downside is limited due to below-average financing risks. ...read more
