Summary

  • On the basis of various fundamental qualitative criteria, the company appears to be particularly poorly ranked from a medium and long-term investment perspective.

Strengths

  • With regards to fundamentals, the enterprise value to sales ratio is at 0.94 for the current period. Therefore, the company is undervalued.
  • Analysts covering this company mostly recommend stock overweighting or purchase.
  • The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
  • 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

  • The company's profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization characterizes fragile margins.
  • The group shows a rather high level of debt in proportion to its EBITDA.
  • 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.
