Summary

  • On the basis of various fundamental qualitative criteria, the company appears to be particularly poorly ranked from a medium and long-term investment perspective.
  • From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.

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.
  • The group's activity appears highly profitable thanks to its outperforming net margins.
  • The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
  • This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
  • Over the last 4 months, analysts have significantly revised upwards the company's estimated sales.
  • Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
  • The average target price set by analysts covering the stock is above current prices and offers a tremendous appreciation potential.
  • Analyst opinion has improved significantly over the past four months.
  • Over the past twelve months, analysts' opinions have been strongly revised upwards.

Weaknesses

  • According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.
  • The company is in a hindered financial situation with significant debt and rather low EBITDA levels.
  • The company's "enterprise value to sales" ratio is among the highest in the world.
  • For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
  • 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.
  • 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 various analysts who make up the consensus differ significantly. This reflects different assessments and/or a difficulty in valuing the company.
