Summary

  • The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility.
  • Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.
  • The company has a good ESG score relative to its sector, according to Refinitiv.

Strengths

  • The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been strongly revised upwards over the last four months.
  • Predictions on business development from analysts polled by Standard & Poor's are tight. This results from either a good visibility into core activities or accurate earnings releases.
  • Historically, the company has been releasing figures that are above expectations.

Weaknesses

  • The company's profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization characterizes fragile margins.
  • With a 2024 P/E ratio at 23.15 times the estimated earnings, the company operates at rather significant levels of earnings multiples.
  • The company appears highly valued given the size of its balance sheet.
  • The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
  • The price targets of analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
