Summary

The company has a poor ESG score according to Refinitiv, which ranks companies by sector.

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.
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.
The divergence of price targets given by the various analysts who make up the consensus is relatively low, suggesting a consensus method of evaluating the company and its prospects.
The group usually releases upbeat results with huge surprise rates.

Weaknesses

According to forecast, a sluggish sales growth is expected for the next fiscal years.
The company's earnings growth outlook lacks momentum and is a weakness.
With an expected P/E ratio at 44.52 and 40.68 respectively for both the current and next fiscal years, the company operates with high earnings multiples.
The company's "enterprise value to sales" ratio is among the highest in the world.
The company appears highly valued given the size of its balance sheet.
The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
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 company's sales previsions for the coming years have been revised downwards, which foreshadows another slowdown in business.
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.
The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been significantly revised downwards over the last four months.
Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
