Summary

Overall, the company has poor fundamentals for a medium to long-term investment strategy.
From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental situation

Strengths

Before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the company's margins are particularly high.
Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
The equity is one of the most attractive in the market with regard to earnings multiple-based valuation.
The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
The company is one of the best yield companies with high dividend expectations.
The average target price set by analysts covering the stock is above current prices and offers a tremendous appreciation potential.
Over the past twelve months, analysts' opinions have been strongly revised upwards.

Weaknesses

For the last twelve months, sales expectations have been significantly downgraded, which means that less important sales volumes are expected for the current fiscal year over the previous period.
The sales outlook for the group was lowered in the last twelve months. This change in forecast points out a decline in activity as well as pessimistic analyses of the company.
For the last four months, earnings estimated by analysts have been revised downwards with respect to the next two years.
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.
Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
