Summary

● The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of listed companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility criteria.

● For a short-term investment strategy, the company has poor fundamentals.


Strengths

● 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.

● Predictions on business development from analysts polled by Standard & Poor's are tight. This results from either a good visibility into core activities or accurate earnings releases.

● The stock is in a well-established, long-term rising trend above the technical support level at 665.2 EUR


Weaknesses

● The company's "enterprise value to sales" ratio is among the highest in the world.

● With an expected P/E ratio at 69.35 and 48.25 respectively for both the current and next fiscal years, the company operates with high earnings multiples.

● The company is not the most generous with respect to shareholders' compensation.

● The company's sales previsions for the coming years have been revised downwards, which foreshadows another slowdown in business.

● 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.

● For the last four months, EPS estimates made by Standard & Poor's analysts have been revised downwards.

● 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.

● The appreciation potential seems limited due to the average target prices set by the analysts covering the stock.
