Summary

Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.

Strengths

The company is one of the best yield companies with high dividend expectations.
For the last few months, EPS revisions have remained quite promising. Analysts now anticipate higher profitability levels than before.
The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been strongly revised upwards over the last four months.
The opinion of analysts covering the stock has improved over the past four months.
Consensus analysts have strongly revised their opinion of the company over the past 12 months.
There is high visibility into the group's activities for the coming years. Outlooks on future revenues from analysts covering the equity remain similar. Such hardly dispersed estimates support highly predictable sales for the current and upcoming fiscal years.
The divergence of price targets given by the various analysts who make up the consensus is relatively low, suggesting a consensus method of evaluating the company and its prospects.

Weaknesses

The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
One of the major weak points of the company is its financial situation.
The valuation of the company is particularly high given the cash flows generated by its activity.
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 sales outlook for the group was lowered in the last twelve months. This change in forecast points out a decline in activity as well as pessimistic analyses of the company.
The group usually releases earnings worse than estimated.
