RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 18, GN Store Nord is worse than 82% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. This means that GN Store Nord shares are on the riskier side for investors. As only one of the consolidated Obermatt Ranks exhibits excellent performance, namely the above-average growth (Growth Rank of 83), it is a riskier stock investment proposition. Aside from the critical professional market sentiment (Sentiment Rank of 29), the company is rather risky when it comes to financing (Safety Rank of 6). The negative market view on GN Store Nord may be due to the high stock price (low value). A growth company like this may get too expensive at one point in time. If too many investors are desperate to join the party, they may drive stock prices above reasonable levels. While it is typical for growth companies to have low value, because investors are willing to pay more for companies that are expected to have high growth, the crucial question is: how much more do you pay for the stock of GN Store Nord compared with alternatives? You can use the following rule of thumb: The value rank shouldn’t be lower than one minus the growth rank. For example, if the growth rank is at 75, and the value rank is at 5, you should tread carefully. If the value rank is at 40, it still might be a good value (even though it is lower than 50). As market sentiment is critical, you should be careful with paying more than market-average for this stock and conduct further research into the company's future growth potential. ...read more

CONSOLIDATED RANK: VALUE
CONSOLIDATED RANK: VALUE	31

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 31 (worse than 69% compared with alternatives), GN Store Nord shares are more expensive than the average comparable stock. The Value Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, where the majority of metrics are below, and only one is above average for GN Store Nord. Price-to-Sales (P/S) is 50, which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future sales is lower than 50% of comparable companies, indicating a good value concerning to GN Store Nord's revenue size. But all other performance indicators point in a different direction. Dividend yields have a Dividend Yield rank of 38, meaning that dividends are expected to be lower than for 62% of comparable investments. Furthermore, Price-to-Book Capital (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) is less favorable than 70% of alternatives (only 30% of peers have an even higher ratio). The same is valid for Price-to-Profit (or Price / Earnings, P/E), which is higher than for 54% of comparable companies, making the stock more expensive compared with the company's expected profit levels. ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 31, is a hold recommendation based on GN Store Nord's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. Since Price-to-Sales is a stable value indicator even in challenging times, investing in GN Store Nord could be seen as a value investment. However, there must be a good reason for the low market-to-book rank. If the company has a typical capital investment practice, the stock may be overvalued because the profit and dividend-related performance indicators are also low. The stock is only good value if investors can expect profits and dividends to pick up in the future. Else, GN Store Nord looks like an expensive investment today. ...read more

CONSOLIDATED RANK: GROWTH
CONSOLIDATED RANK: GROWTH	83

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Growth Rank of 83 (better than 83% compared with alternatives) for 2024, GN Store Nord shows one of the highest growth dynamics in its industry. Investors also speak of high momentum. The Growth Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with half of the indicators below and half above average for GN Store Nord.

This is a good sign for shareholders, which is confirmed by an above-average Stock Returns rank of 89 (above 89% of alternative investments).

RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 83, is a buy recommendation for growth and momentum investors. Because revenues and invested capital are the more solid growth indicators, the positive development on the profit side is less relevant. It may have been caused by cost-cutting, which may be a negative growth indicator. Finally, the above-average stock returns recently are a thing of the past and not a good indicator of future returns. Investors should be confident that the cost-cutting initiative leading to higher profits is to benefit the company's future. If not, there is little growth momentum, and investment is only advisable if the Value Ranks suggest a good investment timing for GN Store Nord. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 30 (worse than 70% compared with investment alternatives), GN Store Nord (Health Care Equipment, Denmark) shares have somewhat below-average financial characteristics compared with similar stocks. Shares of GN Store Nord are low in value (priced high) with a consolidated Value Rank of 31 (worse than 69% of alternatives), and are riskily financed (Safety Rank of 6, which means above-average debt burdens) but show above-average growth (Growth Rank of 83). ...read more

RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 30, is a hold recommendation based on GN Store Nord's financial characteristics. As the company GN Store Nord shows low value with an Obermatt Value Rank of 31 (69% of comparable investments are less expensive), investors should look at the other ranks. In this case, growth is expected to be above-average, better than 83% of comparable companies (Obermatt Growth Rank is 83). This is a typical case. Companies with above average growth tend to cost more than stocks with slower growth expectations. If this is a high-growth company, the low Obermatt Safety Rank of 6 is a good sign. The more debt a well-performing company has, the higher the returns to shareholders. However, if growth turns negative or interest rates increase, high debt may become a burden. If you believe the future is bright for GN Store Nord, even a low-value company (in terms of its key financial indicators) can be a good investment. ...read more
