Summary

  • From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental situation
  • The company has a good ESG score relative to its sector, according to Refinitiv.

Strengths

  • The earnings growth currently anticipated by analysts for the coming years is particularly strong.
  • The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
  • Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
  • The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been strongly revised upwards over the last four months.
  • Over the past twelve months, analysts' opinions have been strongly revised upwards.

Weaknesses

  • The company's valuation in terms of earnings multiples is rather high. Indeed, the firm is getting paid 50.39 times its estimated earnings per share for the ongoing year.
  • With an enterprise value anticipated at 4.46 times the sales for the current fiscal year, the company turns out to be overvalued.
  • The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
  • For the past year, analysts have significantly revised downwards their profit estimates.
  • For the last few months, analysts have been revising downwards their earnings forecast.
  • Prospects from analysts covering the stock are not consistent. Such dispersed sales estimates confirm the poor visibility into the group's activity.
  • The price targets of various analysts who make up the consensus differ significantly. This reflects different assessments and/or a difficulty in valuing the company.
