  • The company has a low valuation given the cash flows generated by its activity.
  • Analysts covering this company mostly recommend stock overweighting or purchase.
  • Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised upwards significantly.
  • Over the past twelve months, analysts' opinions have been strongly revised upwards.
  • 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.

Weaknesses

  • According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.
  • The company has insufficient levels of profitability.
  • The company's valuation in terms of earnings multiples is rather high. Indeed, the firm is getting paid 77.68 times its estimated earnings per share for the ongoing year.
  • 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 twelve months, the analysts covering the company have given a bearish overview of EPS estimates, resulting in frequent downward revisions.
