Summary

  • From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental situation
  • The company's Refinitiv ESG score, based on a relative ranking of the company within its sector, comes out particularly poor.

Strengths

  • The prospective high growth for the next fiscal years is among the main assets of the company
  • With regards to fundamentals, the enterprise value to sales ratio is at 0.78 for the current period. Therefore, the company is undervalued.
  • The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.
  • The company has a low valuation given the cash flows generated by its activity.
  • Over the last twelve months, the sales forecast has been frequently revised upwards.
  • Over the last 4 months, analysts have significantly revised upwards the company's estimated sales.
  • The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.

Weaknesses

  • The company's profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization characterizes fragile margins.
  • The company sustains low margins.
  • One of the major weak points of the company is its financial situation.

  • For the past year, analysts have significantly revised downwards their profit estimates.
  • For the last four months, earnings estimated by analysts have been revised downwards with respect to the next two years.
  • Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised downwards significantly.
  • The overall consensus opinion of analysts has deteriorated sharply over the past four months.
  • Over the past twelve months, analysts' opinions have been revised negatively.
  • Sales estimates for the next fiscal years vary from one analyst to another. This clearly highlights a lack of visibility into the company's future 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.
