Summary

The company presents an interesting fundamental situation from a short-term investment perspective.

Strengths

The company is in a robust financial situation considering its net cash and margin position.
The company has attractive valuation levels with a low EV/sales ratio compared with its peers.
Given the positive cash flows generated by its business, the company's valuation level is an asset.
Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been strongly revised upwards over the last four months.
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.

Weaknesses

According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.
The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
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, the sales outlook for the coming years has been revised downwards. No recovery of the group's activities is yet foreseen.
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.
Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
The price targets of analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
