Summary

The company has a poor ESG score according to Refinitiv, which ranks companies by sector.

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
The group's activity appears highly profitable thanks to its outperforming net margins.
Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.
There is high visibility into the group's activities for the coming years. Outlooks on future revenues from analysts covering the equity remain similar. Such hardly dispersed estimates support highly predictable sales for the current and upcoming fiscal years.
Historically, the company has been releasing figures that are above expectations.

Weaknesses

With relatively low growth outlooks, the group is not among those with the highest revenue growth potential.
The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
With an expected P/E ratio at 49.46 and 47.19 respectively for both the current and next fiscal years, the company operates with high earnings multiples.
Based on current prices, the company has particularly high valuation levels.
The company appears highly valued given the size of its balance sheet.
The company is not the most generous with respect to shareholders' compensation.
For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
The sales outlook for the group was lowered in the last twelve months. This change in forecast points out a decline in activity as well as pessimistic analyses of the company.
For the last 12 months, analysts have been regularly downgrading their EPS expectations. Analysts predict worse results for the company against their predictions a year ago.
For the last few months, analysts have been revising downwards their earnings forecast.
Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised downwards significantly.
Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
