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.

Strengths

  • The stock, which is currently worth 2023 to 0.32 times its sales, is clearly overvalued in comparison with peers.
  • The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.

Weaknesses

  • The company's profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization characterizes fragile margins.
