Summary

  • According to Refinitiv, the company's ESG score for its industry is good.

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.
  • The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been strongly revised upwards over the last four 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.
  • Analysts' price targets are all relatively close, reflecting good visibility on the company's valuation.
  • The group usually releases upbeat results with huge surprise rates.

Weaknesses

  • With relatively low growth outlooks, the group is not among those with the highest revenue growth potential.
  • The company's valuation in terms of earnings multiples is rather high. Indeed, the firm is getting paid 28.19 times its estimated earnings per share for the ongoing year.
  • Based on current prices, the company has particularly high valuation levels.
  • In relation to the value of its tangible assets, the company's valuation appears relatively high.
  • The company is highly valued 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.
