Summary

● The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of listed companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility criteria.


Strengths

● The group's activity appears highly profitable thanks to its outperforming net margins.

● Predictions on business development from analysts polled by Thomson-Reuters are tight. This results from either a good visibility into core activities or accurate earnings releases.

● Over the last twelve months, the sales forecast has been frequently revised upwards.

● Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.


Weaknesses

● The share is close to its long-term resistance in weekly data. Therefore, the potential should be limited. However, a further bullish movement when crossing this resistance will be a positive signal.

● The stock is close to a major daily resistance at EUR 41.95, which should be gotten rid of so as to gain new appreciation potential.

● Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.

● With an enterprise value anticipated at 3.81 times the sales for the current fiscal year, the company turns out to be overvalued.

● With a 2016 P/E ratio at 26.36 times the estimated earnings, the company operates at rather significant levels of earnings multiples.
