Top 10 Stock ComfortDelGro 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 100 (better than 100% compared with alternatives) for 2024, overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock ComfortDelGro are very positive. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with all four indicators above average for ComfortDelGro. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 81, which means that the share price of ComfortDelGro 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 100, ComfortDelGro is better positioned than 100% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. As all consolidated Obermatt Ranks exhibit excellent performance, such as good value (Value Rank of 81), above-average growth (Growth Rank of 73), safe financing practices (Safety Rank of 95), and a positive market sentiment in the professional investor community (Sentiment Rank of 86), 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, unless information not publicly available. High-Value Ranks sometimes indicate that the company's future is challenging. If they are safely financed and have above average growth, and are still a good value, it may indicate that this will not continue. We recommend evaluating whether the future of ComfortDelGro is as difficult as the stock’s low price, despite what good growth and safe financing practice suggest. Since the professional community is optimistic, you might have less to worry about, and the stock is just not sufficiently visible, which may indicate good timing right now. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Sentiment Rank of 86 (better than 86% compared with alternatives) for 2024, overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock ComfortDelGro is very positive. The Sentiment Rank is based on consolidating four sentiment indicators, with all but one indicator above average for ComfortDelGro.

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Sentiment Rank of 86 (more positive than 86% compared with investment alternatives), ComfortDelGro has a reputation among professional investors that is significantly higher than that of its competitors. Not having too many professionals invested in ComfortDelGro may be less of an issue, especially if the stock is from a smaller company where professionals typically invest less. It is natural for professional investors to focus on large and extra-large companies, as they provide more safety. Smaller companies attract fewer professionals in the shareholder community. Overall, the signals from the professionals are still quite favorable for investments in ComfortDelGro. ...read more
Value Strategy: ComfortDelGro Stock Price Value at the top
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 81 (better than 81% compared with alternatives) for 2024, ComfortDelGro shares are significantly less expensive than comparable stocks.

The same is valid for the Price-to-Book Capital ratio (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) with a Price-to-Capital Rank of 95. Finally, compared with other companies in the same industry, dividend yields of ComfortDelGro are expected to be higher than for 92% of all competitors (a Dividend Yield rank of 92).

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 81, is a buy recommendation based on ComfortDelGro's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. The low Profit Rank could result from a one-off charge, for instance, for an accident, a legal settlement, or a restructuring project. If the company keeps its dividends high, the low expected profit may be transitory. If that is the case, the three good value ranks for Sales, Capital, and Dividends are reliable indicators for good stock price value, a low stock price. ...read more

That may be a good sign if the company is already well positioned and doesn't require more investments at this time. They may focus on growing the top (revenues) and bottom (profits) lines, recently rewarded with above-average stock returns for shareholders. But it may also be a sign of danger as the company is falling back with capital investment activities concerning competition. This requires further analysis of corporate communications. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 100, is a strong buy recommendation based on ComfortDelGro's financial characteristics. As the company ComfortDelGro's key financial metrics all exhibit excellent performance, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 81), above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 73), and indicate that the company is safely financed (Obermatt Safety Rank of 95), it is a solid stock investment where the risk of paying too much for the share is limited, unless the company has a bleak future. Such good financial performance can indicate that the company's future might actually be challenging, as it may be difficult to maintain the good performance. If they are safely financed and have been growing above average, and are still a good value, it means that the market is keeping prices low, for a reason which may become clearer over time. We recommend evaluating the future of ComfortDelGro. If you believe the company's future is market-typical or even better, this could be an argument for a share purchase. ...read more
