Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 7.78 and 6.63 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
Analysts have consistently raised their revenue expectations for the company, which provides good prospects for the current and next years in terms of revenue growth.
For the past twelve months, EPS forecast has been revised upwards.
Analysts covering this company mostly recommend stock overweighting or purchase.
The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.

Weaknesses

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
One of the major weak points of the company is its financial situation.
The company's "enterprise value to sales" ratio is among the highest in the world.
The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
