Summary

  • From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental situation
  • The company has a good ESG score relative to its sector, according to Refinitiv.

Strengths

  • The company's earnings per share (EPS) are expected to grow significantly over the next few years according to the consensus of analysts covering the stock.
  • The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
  • Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
  • Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised upwards significantly.
  • Consensus analysts have strongly revised their opinion of the company over the past 12 months.

Weaknesses

  • With an expected P/E ratio at 48.94 and 24.82 respectively for both the current and next fiscal years, the company operates with high earnings multiples.
  • With an enterprise value anticipated at 4.35 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 past year, analysts have significantly revised downwards their profit estimates.
  • For the last four months, earnings estimated by analysts have been revised downwards with respect to the next two years.
  • Sales estimates for the next fiscal years vary from one analyst to another. This clearly highlights a lack of visibility into the company's future activity.
  • The price targets of analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
