Top 10 Stock Tennant 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.

Top 10 Stocks ≠ most popular stocks

For each investment strategy, we provide you with more detailed analysis and our recommendation. You see the ranks of the top 10 stocks ranked by that particular investment strategy (360° View, Sentiment, Value, Growth, Safety and Combined Financial Performance).

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt 360° View of 89 (better than 89% compared with alternatives) for 2025, overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock Tennant are very positive. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with three out of four indicators above average for Tennant. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 90, which means that the share price of Tennant 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 90% of alternative stocks in the same industry. The consolidated Growth Rank has a good rank of 68, 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. The company is also safely financed with a Safety Rank of 89. But the professional market sentiment is below average compared with other stock investment alternatives with a Sentiment Rank of only 28.

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 89, Tennant is better positioned than 89% 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 90), above-average growth (Growth Rank of 68), and safe financing practices (Safety Rank of 89), 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 professional market sentiment is on the riskier side (Sentiment Rank of 28), but that could also mean an overreaction to negative news in the past. Good value is sometimes an indication that the company's future is challenging. If they have been enjoying above average growth and are still a good value, this may not continue. We recommend evaluating whether the future of Tennant is as challenging as the low price of the stock despite good growth and safe financing practices suggest. Since the professional community is pessimistic, you may want to reflect these negative opinions in light of what you find reasonable to expect for the future. If you believe this pessimistic view is transitory, you have a solid investment case based on current financial factors. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 96 (better than 96% compared with investment alternatives), Tennant (Industrial Machinery, USA) shares have much better financial characteristics than comparable stocks.

RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 96, is a strong buy recommendation based on Tennant's financial characteristics. As the company Tennant's key financial metrics all exhibit excellent performance, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 90), above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 68), and indicate that the company is safely financed (Obermatt Safety Rank of 89), it is a solid stock investment where the risk of paying too much for the share is limited, unless the company has a bleak future. Such good financial performance can indicate that the company's future might actually be challenging, as it may be difficult to maintain the good performance. If they are safely financed and have been growing above average, and are still a good value, it means that the market is keeping prices low, for a reason which may become clearer over time. We recommend evaluating the future of Tennant. If you believe the company's future is market-typical or even better, this could be an argument for a share purchase. ...read more
