Summary

Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.
The company's Refinitiv ESG score, based on a ranking of the company relative to its industry, comes out particularly well.

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
For the last 4 months, the company has been enjoying highly positive EPS revisions, which were frequently and significantly raised.
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.

Weaknesses

The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
The company is in a hindered financial situation with significant debt and rather low EBITDA levels.
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 four months, the sales outlook for the coming years has been revised downwards. No recovery of the group's activities is yet foreseen.
