Top 10 Stock P/F Bakkafrost 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 53 (better than 53% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock P/F Bakkafrost are above average. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with half of the metrics below and half above average for P/F Bakkafrost. The consolidated Growth Rank has a good rank of 84, which means that the company experiences above-average growth momentum when looking at financial metrics such as revenue, profit, and invested capital growth as well as stock returns. This means that growth is higher than for 84% of competitors in the same industry. In addition, the consolidated Safety Rank has a safer rank of 78 which means that the company has a financing structure that is safer than 78% comparable companies when looking at the amount of its debt, its refinancing requirements, and its ability to service debt. But the consolidated Value Rank has a less desirable rank of 31 which means that the share price of P/F Bakkafrost is on the higher side compared with typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital. This means that the stock price is higher than for 69% of alternative stocks in the same industry. The consolidated Sentiment Rank also has a low rank of 13, which means that professional investors are more pessimistic about the stock than for 87% of alternative investment opportunities. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 53, P/F Bakkafrost is better positioned than 53% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. As only half of the consolidated Obermatt Ranks exhibit excellent performance, the picture is ambiguous. Growth is above-average (Growth Rank of 84), and the company is safely financed (Safety Rank of 78). However, professional market sentiment is low(Sentiment Rank of 13). The negative market view on P/F Bakkafrost 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 board the train, they may drive stock prices above reasonable levels. It is typical for growth companies to have low value ratings, because investors are willing to pay more for companies that outperform their competitors. So the question is, how much more do you pay for the stock of P/F Bakkafrost compared with alternatives? You can use the following rule of thumb: The value rank shouldn’t be lower than one hundred 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 if the value rank is above 60. As market sentiment is low, 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
Sentiment Strategy: Professional Market Sentiment for P/F Bakkafrost negative
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Sentiment Rank of 13 (better than 13% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock P/F Bakkafrost is critical, mostly below average. The Sentiment Rank is based on consolidating four sentiment indicators, with half of the metrics below and half above average for P/F Bakkafrost. Analyst Opinions are at a rank of 49 (worse than 51% of alternative investments), which means that currently, stock research analysts tend to warn against investing in the stock of the company. Worse, Analyst Opinions Change has a rank of 8 which means that stock research experts are getting even more pessimistic. It doesn't end with the analysts. Market Pulse is also low with a rank of 27, 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 73% of competitors). No wonder, the Professional Investors rank is only 14, which means that professional investors hold less stock in this company than in 86% of alternative investment opportunities. Pros tend to stay away from P/F Bakkafrost, which may be due to a small company size but just as likely because of its relatively low Sentiment Rank. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Sentiment Rank of 13 (less encouraging than 87% compared with investment alternatives), P/F Bakkafrost has a reputation among professional investors that is far below that of its competitors. Investors should be careful with this stock right now. Further research is required if an investment is desired, because the facts found in the professional community are all negative. ...read more
Value Strategy: P/F Bakkafrost Stock Price Value below-average critical
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 31 (worse than 69% compared with alternatives), P/F Bakkafrost shares are more expensive than the average comparable stock. The Value Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with three out of four indicators below average for P/F Bakkafrost. Only the metric dividend yield has an above-average rank, reflecting that dividend practices are expected to be higher than 60% of comparable companies, making the stock an attractive buy for dividend investors. However, dividend investors may get disappointed because all other critical financial indicators are below the market median: Price-to-Sales is 9 which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future profits is higher than 91% of comparable companies, indicating a low value concerning P/F Bakkafrost's sales levels. The same is valid for Price-to-Profit (also referred to as price-earnings, P/E) with a rank of 34 which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future profit levels is higher than 66% of comparable companies. In addition, Price-to-Book (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) with a Price-to-Book Rank of 47 is also low. Compared with invested capital, the stock price is higher than for 53% of comparable investments. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 31, is a hold recommendation based on P/F Bakkafrost's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. Should dividend investors pick P/F Bakkafrost? The company-reported financials speak against it. The company is expensive compared with revenue and invested capital levels, two reliable company size indicators. In addition, it currently has a low level of profits. How can future dividends be paid in the case that profits remain low? Dividend investors should choose P/F Bakkafrost only if they reasonably expect the low current profit levels to be transitory. ...read more
Growth Strategy: P/F Bakkafrost Growth Momentum high
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Growth Rank of 84 (better than 84% compared with alternatives) for 2025, P/F Bakkafrost 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 P/F Bakkafrost. Sales Growth has a rank of 100 which means that currently, professionals expect the company to grow more than 100% of its competitors. Capital Growth is also above 43% of competitors with a rank of 92. But Profit Growth only has a rank of 43, which means that currently professionals expect the company to grow its profits less than 57% of its competitors. And Stock Returns have also been below average with a rank of only 23. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 84, is a buy recommendation for growth and momentum investors. Profits are sometimes low if the company invests in the future. The positive revenue and capital investment outlook confirms such an interpretation. Both revenues and capital are solid growth indicators, and lower profits in such a case would be encouraging. But the investors see it differently by punishing the share price. Sometimes, Mister Market is not very reliable, because it is not uncommon for it to be volatile. Investors should look out for signs of growth expenditure that could justify low profit growth, and they may also find reasons why recent stock price developments don't confirm the growth outlook of operations. While operating growth indicators are not perfect, they are more reliable indicators for future performance than stock prices that can repeatedly surprise investors. ...read more

Leverage is at 79, meaning the company has a below-average debt-to-equity ratio. It has less debt than 79% of its competitors.

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Safety Rank of 78 (better than 78% compared with alternatives), P/F Bakkafrost has a financing structure that is significantly safer than that of its competitors. These three positive financing indicators signal that the company is less likely to default on its debt obligations.

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 80 (better than 80% compared with investment alternatives), P/F Bakkafrost (Packaged Foods & Meats, Denmark) shares have much better financial characteristics than comparable stocks. Shares of P/F Bakkafrost are low in value (priced high) with a consolidated Value Rank of 31 (worse than 69% of alternatives). But they show above-average growth (Growth Rank of 84) and are safely financed (Safety Rank of 78, which means below-average debt burdens). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 80, is a strong buy recommendation based on P/F Bakkafrost's financial characteristics. Investors looking for growth and low financial risk may find this stock attractive. While the company P/F Bakkafrost exhibits low value (Obermatt Value Rank of 31), which means that the stock price is rather high, it also demonstrates above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 84). This is a typical case, as high-growth companies are often expensive. Good financing practices (Obermatt Safety Rank of 78) are a double-edged sword: if the company continues growing, low debt limits shareholder returns. But if the company increases its debt, it will also increase risk. In other words, this is an investment on the safer side, despite the above-average price (low value). ...read more
