Summary
- From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.
Strengths
- 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.
- Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 6.49 and 5.8 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
- The company has a low valuation given the cash flows generated by its activity.
- Upward revisions of sales forecast reflect a renewed optimism among the analysts covering the stock.
- The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
Weaknesses
- With relatively low growth outlooks, the group is not among those with the highest revenue growth potential.
- The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
- 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 few months, analysts have been revising downwards their earnings forecast.
- The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been significantly revised downwards over the last four months.
- Prospects from analysts covering the stock are not consistent. Such dispersed sales estimates confirm the poor visibility into the group's 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.
