Summary

From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.

Strengths

Before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the company's margins are particularly high.
The company returns high margins, thereby supporting business profitability.
The equity is one of the most attractive in the market with regard to earnings multiple-based valuation.

This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
Analysts covering this company mostly recommend stock overweighting or purchase.

Weaknesses

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.
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.

Prospects from analysts covering the stock are not consistent. Such dispersed sales estimates confirm the poor visibility into the group's activity.

The group usually releases earnings worse than estimated.
