Summary

  • The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility.
  • Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.

Strengths

  • Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 8.94 and 8.24 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
  • The stock, which is currently worth 2024 to 0.6 times its sales, is clearly overvalued in comparison with peers.
  • The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.
  • For the last few months, EPS revisions have remained quite promising. Analysts now anticipate higher profitability levels than before.
  • Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised upwards significantly.
  • Predictions on business development from analysts polled by Standard & Poor's are tight. This results from either a good visibility into core activities or accurate earnings releases.
  • The group usually releases upbeat results with huge surprise rates.

Weaknesses

  • According to forecast, a sluggish sales growth is expected for the next fiscal years.
  • For the last twelve months, sales expectations have been significantly downgraded, which means that less important sales volumes are expected for the current fiscal year over the previous period.
  • For the last four months, the sales outlook for the coming years has been revised downwards. No recovery of the group's activities is yet foreseen.
