Strengths

  • The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
  • Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
  • Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 8.93 and 7.01 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.

Weaknesses

  • For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.

  • For the last few months, analysts have been revising downwards their earnings forecast.
  • Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised downwards significantly.
