Summary

  • According to Refinitiv, the company's ESG score for its industry is good.

Strengths

  • Before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the company's margins are particularly high.
  • The company returns high margins, thereby supporting business profitability.
  • Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
  • Considering the small differences between the analysts' various estimates, the group's business visibility is good.
  • The divergence of price targets given by the various analysts who make up the consensus is relatively low, suggesting a consensus method of evaluating the company and its prospects.

Weaknesses

  • With relatively low growth outlooks, the group is not among those with the highest revenue growth potential.
  • With an enterprise value anticipated at 3.39 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 last twelve months, sales expectations have been significantly downgraded, which means that less important sales volumes are expected for the current fiscal year over the previous period.
  • For the last four months, the sales outlook for the coming years has been revised downwards. No recovery of the group's activities is yet foreseen.
  • For the last 12 months, analysts have been regularly downgrading their EPS expectations. Analysts predict worse results for the company against their predictions a year ago.
  • Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
