Strengths

Before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the company's margins are particularly high.
Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 9.88 and 5.16 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2024 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.

Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
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 analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
