Summary
- From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental situation
- The company's Refinitiv ESG score, based on a relative ranking of the company within its sector, comes out particularly poor.
Strengths
- The prospective high growth for the next fiscal years is among the main assets of the company
- With regards to fundamentals, the enterprise value to sales ratio is at 0.77 for the current period. Therefore, the company is undervalued.
- The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
- Given the positive cash flows generated by its business, the company's valuation level is an asset.
- Over the last twelve months, the sales forecast has been frequently revised upwards.
- Upward revisions of sales forecast reflect a renewed optimism among the analysts covering the stock.
- The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
Weaknesses
- The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
- As a percentage of sales and without taking into account depreciation and amortization, the company has relatively low margins.
- The company does not generate enough profits, which is an alarming weak point.
- One of the major weak points of the company is its financial situation.
- With a 2024 P/E ratio at 35.92 times the estimated earnings, the company operates at rather significant levels of earnings multiples.
- 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 twelve months, the analysts covering the company have given a bearish overview of EPS estimates, resulting in frequent downward revisions.
- Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised downwards significantly.
- The average consensus view of analysts covering the stock has deteriorated over the past four months.
- Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
- Prospects from analysts covering the stock are not consistent. Such dispersed sales estimates confirm the poor visibility into the group's activity.
- The price targets of analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
- The company's earnings releases usually do not meet expectations.
