Summary

  • From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.
  • The company's Refinitiv ESG score, based on a ranking of the company relative to its industry, comes out particularly well.

Strengths

  • The company's earnings per share (EPS) are expected to grow significantly over the next few years according to the consensus of analysts covering the stock.
  • Before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the company's margins are particularly high.
  • Analysts covering this company mostly recommend stock overweighting or purchase.
  • The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been strongly revised upwards over the last four months.
  • Consensus analysts have strongly revised their opinion of the company over the past 12 months.

Weaknesses

  • With an expected P/E ratio at 51.02 and 25.87 respectively for both the current and next fiscal years, the company operates with high earnings multiples.
  • The company's enterprise value to sales, at 4.52 times its current sales, is high.
  • The company is not the most generous with respect to shareholders' compensation.
  • For the past year, analysts have significantly revised downwards their profit estimates.
  • For the last four months, EPS estimates made by Standard & Poor's analysts have been revised downwards.
