Summary

From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.

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.
The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
The group's activity appears highly profitable thanks to its outperforming net margins.
Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.
Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 11.2 and 6.78 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
The average target price set by analysts covering the stock is above current prices and offers a tremendous appreciation potential.

Weaknesses

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
Revenue estimates are regularly revised downwards for the current and coming years.
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.
Prospects from analysts covering the stock are not consistent. Such dispersed sales estimates confirm the poor visibility into the group's activity.
