Strengths

Weaknesses

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
Based on current prices, the company has particularly high valuation levels.
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.
The company's sales previsions for the coming years have been revised downwards, which foreshadows another slowdown in business.
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.
