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.
The company's Refinitiv ESG score, based on a ranking of the company relative to its industry, comes out particularly well.

Strengths

Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.
Analysts covering this company mostly recommend stock overweighting or purchase.
Consensus analysts have strongly revised their opinion of the company over the past 12 months.
There is high visibility into the group's activities for the coming years. Outlooks on future revenues from analysts covering the equity remain similar. Such hardly dispersed estimates support highly predictable sales for the current and upcoming fiscal years.
The group usually releases upbeat results with huge surprise rates.

Weaknesses

The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
The firm trades with high earnings multiples: 22.03 times its 2024 earnings per share.
The company appears highly valued given the size of its balance sheet.
The valuation of the company is particularly high given the cash flows generated by its activity.
The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
