Top 10 Stock ENEOS 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 60 (better than 60% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock ENEOS are above average. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with half the metrics below and half above average for ENEOS. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 87, which means that the share price of ENEOS is on the lower side compared with the typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital. This means the stock price is lower than for 87% of alternative stocks in the same industry. The company is also safely financed with a Safety rank of 56. But the professional market sentiment is below average compared with other stock investment alternatives with a Sentiment Rank of 25. Professional investors are more confident in 75% other stocks. The consolidated Growth Rank also has a low rank of 45, which means that the company is below average in terms of growth momentum when looking at financial metrics such as revenue, profit, invested capital growth, and stock returns. 55 of its competitors have better growth. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 60, ENEOS is better positioned than 60% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. The picture is mixed here. The stock seems to be a good value (Value Rank of 87), and the financing structure is on the safer side (Safety Rank of 56). However, sentiment in the professional investor community is below-average (Sentiment Rank of 25), as is the growth momentum for the company (Growth Rank of 45). Since the company is good value and the share price low, it should attract investors, yet professionals are skeptical. Even though the financing structure is not as important as Value, Growth, and Sentiment, investors should still be careful with this decision and conduct further research if they are serious about investing in this company. ...read more
Sentiment Strategy: Professional Market Sentiment for ENEOS only reserved
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Sentiment Rank of 25 (better than 25% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock ENEOS is below industry average. The Sentiment Rank is based on consolidating four sentiment indicators, with half of the metrics below and half above average for ENEOS. Analyst Opinions are at a rank of 63 (better than 63% of alternative investments), which means that, currently, stock research analysts tend to recommend a stock investment in the company. Analyst Opinions Change is also positive and has a rank of 50 which means that currently, stock research experts are getting even more optimistic about investments in ENEOS. But Market Pulse has a low rank of 19, which means that the current professional news and professional social networks are on the negative side when discussing this company (more negative news than for 81% of competitors). This is an essential sign of caution, as it could be the forebearer of bad news. Professional Investors are also somewhat absent with a rank of 41, which means that, currently, professional investors hold less stock in this company than in 59% of alternative investment opportunities. Pros tend to invest in other companies. This is expected if the company is of a smaller size (medium or smaller). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Sentiment Rank of 25 (less encouraging than 75% compared with investment alternatives), ENEOS has a reputation among professional investors that is below that of its competitors. While the general news feeds in the professional market are negative, the analyst recommendations are optimistic about the company, and even increase their ratings despite the negative news. This is an ambiguous situation with positive and negative signals from the professional side. Investors should be on the lookout for negative news but not worry too much about it as long as the overall news is still positive. ...read more
Value Strategy: ENEOS Stock Price Value at the top
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 87 (better than 87% compared with alternatives) for 2025, ENEOS shares are significantly less expensive than comparable stocks. The Value Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators that are all above average for ENEOS. Price-to-Sales is 93 which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future sales is lower than for 93% of comparable companies, indicating a good value for ENEOS's revenue size. The same is valid for expected Price-to-Profits, more favorable than for 82% of alternatives, and this is also true for the Price-to-Book capital ratio (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) with a Price-to-Capital Rank of 70. Compared with other companies in the same industry, dividend yields of ENEOS are expected to be higher than for 55% of all competitors (a Dividend Yield rank of 55). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 87, is a buy recommendation based on ENEOS's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. Since all value metrics are above the industry average, there is no objection to investing in ENEOS based on its detailed value metrics.
Growth Strategy: ENEOS Growth Momentum low
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Growth Rank of 45 (better than 45% compared with alternatives), ENEOS 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 ENEOS. Capital Growth has a rank of 52, which means that currently professionals expect the company to grow its invested capital more than 22% of its competitors. Investors welcomed this, visible in the Stock Returns rank of 97 (above 97% of alternative investments). But Sales Growth has only a rank of 10, which means that, currently, professionals expect the company to grow less than 90% of its competitors, and Profit Growth is also low at a rank of 22. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 45, is a hold recommendation for growth and momentum investors. This is an ambiguous picture. Revenue growth and capital growth are strong, but the growth in profit, which seems good, can also be an indication that growth momentum may be negative. The fact that stock returns have been above average doesn't help much, as stock returns are less reliable in showing a company’s future growth potential. Prices may perform well for the simple reason that investors were too pessimistic in the past and are now correcting their opinions and moving the stock price to a more reasonable level. As the growth picture is mixed for ENEOS, investors may want to look at value and sentiment indicators for a well-rounded picture of this stock. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Safety Rank of 56 (better than 56% compared with alternatives), the company ENEOS has financing practices on the safer side, which mean that their overall debt burden is lower than average. This doesn't mean that the business of ENEOS is safe, it only means that the company is on the safer side regarding possible bankruptcy, assuming that public reporting is correct. The Safety Rank is based on consolidating three financing indicators, with just one indicator above average for ENEOS and the other two below average. Refinancing is at 85, meaning the portion of the debt about to be refinanced is below average. It has less debt in the refinancing stage than 85% of its competitors. But Leverage is high with a rank of 23, meaning the company has an above-average debt-to-equity ratio. It has more debt than 77% of its competitors. Liquidity is also on the riskier side with a rank of 45, meaning the company generates less profit to service its debt than 55% of its competitors. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Safety Rank of 56 (better than 56% compared with alternatives), ENEOS has a financing structure that is safer than that of its competitors. A good Refinancing Rank means that the problems of the company may not be around the corner. But high Leverage is only good if things go well, and low Liquidity is a signal for caution. The financing signals for ENEOS are on the riskier side, requiring the company's future to be on the safer side. Investors may want to look at Growth and Sentiment ranks before making an investment decision. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 78 (better than 78% compared with investment alternatives), ENEOS (Oil & Gas Refining, Japan) shares have much better financial characteristics than comparable stocks. Shares of ENEOS are a good value (attractively priced) with a consolidated Value Rank of 87 (better than 87% of alternatives), are safely financed (Safety Rank of 56, which means low debt burdens), but show below-average growth (Growth Rank of 45). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 78, is a strong buy recommendation based on ENEOS's financial characteristics. As the company ENEOS's key financial metrics exhibit good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 87) but low growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 45) while being safely financed (Obermatt Safety Rank of 56), it may be a safer investment because companies with low debt can better withstand times of crises. Yet the good value, better than 87% 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
