Summary

The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility.

Strengths

The company is in a robust financial situation considering its net cash and margin position.
The company shows low valuation levels, with an enterprise value at -0.34 times its sales.
The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.
Analysts covering this company mostly recommend stock overweighting or purchase.
The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
Historically, the company has been releasing figures that are above expectations.

Weaknesses

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
The company's profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization characterizes fragile margins.
Low profitability weakens the company.
For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
The sales outlook for the group was lowered in the last twelve months. This change in forecast points out a decline in activity as well as pessimistic analyses of the company.
For the last twelve months, the analysts covering the company have given a bearish overview of EPS estimates, resulting in frequent downward revisions.
The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been significantly revised downwards over the last four months.
The overall consensus opinion of analysts has deteriorated sharply over the past four months.
Sales estimates for the next fiscal years vary from one analyst to another. This clearly highlights a lack of visibility into the company's future 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.
