Summary

  • From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.
  • The company's Refinitiv ESG score, based on a ranking of the company relative to its industry, comes out particularly well.

Strengths

  • Growth is a substantial asset for the company, as anticipated by dedicated analysts. Within the next three years, growth is estimated to reach 49% by 2026.
  • The company's earnings per share (EPS) are expected to grow significantly over the next few years according to the consensus of analysts covering the stock.
  • The company has attractive valuation levels with a low EV/sales ratio compared with its peers.
  • The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
  • Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
  • The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.

Weaknesses

  • For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
  • 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.
  • Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised downwards significantly.
  • Prospects from analysts covering the stock are not consistent. Such dispersed sales estimates confirm the poor visibility into the group's activity.
  • Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
