Summary

The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility.
Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.

Strengths

Before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the company's margins are particularly high.
The group's activity appears highly profitable thanks to its outperforming net margins.
Over the past year, analysts have regularly revised upwards their sales forecast for the company.
Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised upwards significantly.
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.
Analysts' price targets are all relatively close, reflecting good visibility on the company's valuation.
Historically, the company has been releasing figures that are above expectations.

Weaknesses

The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
With a 2024 P/E ratio at 25.76 times the estimated earnings, the company operates at rather significant levels of earnings multiples.
The company's "enterprise value to sales" ratio is among the highest in the world.
In relation to the value of its tangible assets, the company's valuation appears relatively high.
The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
The average consensus view of analysts covering the stock has deteriorated over the past four months.
Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
