Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.

The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been strongly revised upwards over the last four months.
Analyst opinion has improved significantly 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.

Weaknesses

According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.
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 company's enterprise value to sales, at 3.4 times its current sales, is high.
For the last four months, the sales outlook for the coming years has been revised downwards. No recovery of the group's activities is yet foreseen.
The price targets of analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
