Shares in Kinepolis Group have recently benefitted from a regain of interest by market participants. The technical chart pattern suggests a continuation of the upward movement.
Summary
● The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of listed companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility criteria.
Strengths
● The group's activity appears highly profitable thanks to its outperforming net margins.
● Predictions on business development from analysts polled by Thomson-Reuters are tight. This results from either a good visibility into core activities or accurate earnings releases.
● Over the last twelve months, the sales forecast has been frequently revised upwards.
● Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
Weaknesses
● The share is close to its long-term resistance in weekly data. Therefore, the potential should be limited. However, a further bullish movement when crossing this resistance will be a positive signal.
● The stock is close to a major daily resistance at EUR 41.95, which should be gotten rid of so as to gain new appreciation potential.
● Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
● With an enterprise value anticipated at 3.81 times the sales for the current fiscal year, the company turns out to be overvalued.
● With a 2016 P/E ratio at 26.36 times the estimated earnings, the company operates at rather significant levels of earnings multiples.
