Shares of OMV AG (OMVKY) have been strong performers lately, with the stock up 14.3% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $14.4 in the previous session. OMV has gained 50% since the start of the year compared to the 7.3% gain for the Zacks Oils-Energy sector and the 12.6% return for the Zacks Oil and Gas - Integrated - International industry.What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has a great record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on October 29, 2025, OMV reported EPS of $2.18 versus consensus estimate of $0.43 while it missed the consensus revenue estimate by 4.69%.For the current fiscal year, OMV is expected to post earnings of $1.5 per share on $33.04 in revenues. This represents a -78.32% change in EPS on a -11.5% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $1.64 per share on $30.72 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 9.33% and -7.01%, respectively.Valuation MetricsWhile OMV has moved to its 52-week high over the past few weeks, investors need to be asking, what is next for the company? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company is due for a pullback from this level.On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as they provide investors with an additional way to sort through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. Investors should consider the style scores a valuable tool that can help you to pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.OMV has a Value Score of A. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are A and F, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 9.6X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 11X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 3.4X versus its peer group's average of 3.6X. This is good enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective, making OMV an interesting choice for value investors.Zacks RankWe also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this supersedes any trend on the style score front. Fortunately, OMV currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) thanks to a solid earnings estimate revision trend.Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if OMV fits the bill. Thus, it seems as though OMV shares could have potential in the weeks and months to come.Zacks' Research Chief Names "Stock Most Likely to Double"Our team of experts has just released the 5 stocks with the greatest probability of gaining +100% or more in the coming months.
