Summary

  • Overall, the company has poor fundamentals for a medium to long-term investment strategy.
  • From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental situation

Strengths

  • Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 4.24 and 3.86 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
  • The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.
  • Given the positive cash flows generated by its business, the company's valuation level is an asset.
  • Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
  • The average target price set by analysts covering the stock is above current prices and offers a tremendous appreciation potential.

Weaknesses

  • According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.
  • The company's earnings growth outlook lacks momentum and is a weakness.
  • As a percentage of sales and without taking into account depreciation and amortization, the company has relatively low margins.
  • The company has insufficient levels of profitability.
  • The company is in a hindered financial situation with significant debt and rather low EBITDA 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.
  • For the last four months, earnings estimated by analysts have been revised downwards with respect to the next two years.
  • The overall consensus opinion of analysts has deteriorated sharply over the past four months.
  • Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
  • Sales estimates for the next fiscal years vary from one analyst to another. This clearly highlights a lack of visibility into the company's future activity.
  • The group usually releases earnings worse than estimated.
