Top 10 Stock Ero Copper 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 57 (better than 57% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock Ero Copper are above average. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with all but one indicator above average for Ero Copper. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 72, which means that the share price of Ero Copper 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 57, Ero Copper is better positioned than 57% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. As three out of four consolidated Obermatt Ranks exhibit excellent performance, such as good value (Value Rank of 72), above-average growth (Growth Rank of 75), and positive market sentiment in the professional investor community (Sentiment Rank of 57), it is a solid stock investment where the risk of paying too much for the shares is limited, and disappointments are less likely, unless information not publicly available. Only the company financing structure is on the riskier side (Safety Rank of 10), but that would also mean better returns for shareholders if things work out well. Good value is sometimes an indication that the company's future is challenging. If they have been growing above average and are still a good value, it may indicate that this will not continue. We recommend evaluating whether the future of Ero Copper is as difficult as the low price of the stock, despite good growth and positive professional investor sentiment, suggests. Since the professional community is optimistic, you might have less to worry about, and the stock is just not sufficiently visible right now, which may indicate good timing. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 72, is a buy recommendation based on Ero Copper's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields.

For instance, the company could be leasing its production facilities or be more focussed on intellectual property, such as its brand and software, which is less visible in its book capital. If that is the case, the three good value ranks for Sales, Profits, and Dividends are reliable indicators for the stock price value. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Safety Rank of 10 (better than 10% compared with alternatives), the company Ero Copper has much riskier financing practices than comparable other companies, which means that their overall debt burden is significantly above the industry average.

The Safety Rank is based on consolidating three financing indicators, with just one indicator above average for Ero Copper. Liquidity is at 81, meaning the company generates more profit to service its debt than 81% of its competitors. This indicates that the company is safer when it comes to debt service.

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Safety Rank of 10 (worse than 90% compared with alternatives), Ero Copper has a financing structure that is significantly riskier than that of its competitors.

The good Liquidity performance of the company is an indicator that this is the case. However, if you expect an economic downturn, you may stay clear of this stock because they have an above-average debt level that needs refinancing soon. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 57 (better than 57% compared with investment alternatives), Ero Copper (Copper, Canada) shares have above-average financial characteristics compared with similar stocks. Shares of Ero Copper are a good value (attractively priced) with a consolidated Value Rank of 72 (better than 72% of alternatives), show above-average growth (Growth Rank of 75) but are riskily financed (Safety Rank of 10), which means above-average debt burdens. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 57, is a buy recommendation based on Ero Copper's financial characteristics. As the company Ero Copper's key financial metrics exhibit excellent performance in two areas, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 72) and above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 75), it could be argued that the risk-taking in financing (Obermatt Safety Rank of only 10) 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
