Summary

  • Analysts' price targets are all relatively close, reflecting good visibility on the company's valuation.

Weaknesses

  • The company is not the most generous with respect to shareholders' compensation.
  • 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.
