Summary

  • The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility.
  • The company presents an interesting fundamental situation from a short-term investment perspective.

Strengths

  • The equity is one of the most attractive in the market with regard to earnings multiple-based valuation.
  • The stock, which is currently worth 2024 to 0.52 times its sales, is clearly overvalued in comparison with peers.
  • The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
  • Over the last twelve months, the sales forecast has been frequently revised upwards.
  • 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.
  • Analyst opinion has improved significantly over the past 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.

Weaknesses

  • The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
  • The company's profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization characterizes fragile margins.
  • The company sustains low margins.
  • The company is in debt and has limited leeway for investment
  • The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
  • For the last few months, analysts have been revising downwards their earnings forecast.
  • 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.
