Top 10 Stock Permian Resources 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.

The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with half of the metrics below and half above average for Permian Resources. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 76, which means that the share price of Permian Resources is on the lower side compared with the typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital.

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 65, Permian Resources is better positioned than 65% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. Even though half of the consolidated Obermatt Ranks are above-average, namely the Value Rank at 76 and the Growth Rank above-average at 50, the picture is still mixed. The professional investor community is skeptical, with the Sentiment Rank below-average at 48. In addition, the company financing structure is on the riskier side (Safety Rank of 46). Since the company is good value and the share price low, it should attract investors, yet professionals are skeptical. One may be tempted by above-average growth, but that could also change quickly, as past performance is not a good indicator of future performance. Since the financing structure is on the risky side, investors should be careful with this decision and conduct further research if they are serious about investing in this company. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Sentiment Rank of 48 (less encouraging than 52% compared with investment alternatives), Permian Resources has a reputation among professional investors that is below that of its competitors.

If the price is on the way down, the trend may continue. This may be a stock with a good reputation and history, but it may have reached its breaking point by now.

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 50, is a buy recommendation for growth and momentum investors.

If these are the reasons, overall growth is well on track to making this stock attractive for growth investors. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 61 (better than 61% compared with investment alternatives), Permian Resources (Oil & Gas Production, USA) shares have above-average financial characteristics compared with similar stocks. Shares of Permian Resources are a good value (attractively priced) with a consolidated Value Rank of 76 (better than 76% of alternatives), show above-average growth (Growth Rank of 50) but are riskily financed (Safety Rank of 46), which means above-average debt burdens. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 61, is a buy recommendation based on Permian Resources's financial characteristics. As the company Permian Resources's key financial metrics exhibit excellent performance in two areas, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 76) and above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 50), it could be argued that the risk-taking in financing (Obermatt Safety Rank of only 46) 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
