Top 10 Stock Powszechna Kasa Oszczednosci Bank Polski Spolka Akcyjna 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.

As three out of four consolidated Obermatt Ranks exhibit excellent performance, such as above-average growth (Growth Rank of 92), a safe financing structure (Safety Rank of 61), and positive professional market sentiment (Sentiment Rank of 98), it is a solid stock investment where growth may be the strongest driver of the investment rationale, also reflected by institutional investors.
