Summary

The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility.
Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.

Strengths

Growth progress expectations are rather promising. Indeed, sales are expected to rise sharply in the coming years.
The company has attractive valuation levels with a low EV/sales ratio compared with its peers.
For the last twelve months, analysts have been gradually revising upwards their EPS forecast for the upcoming fiscal year.
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.
The divergence of price targets given by the various analysts who make up the consensus is relatively low, suggesting a consensus method of evaluating the company and its prospects.

Weaknesses

Low profitability weakens the company.
The company's valuation in terms of earnings multiples is rather high. Indeed, the firm is getting paid 68.66 times its estimated earnings per share for the ongoing year.
The company appears highly valued given the size of its balance sheet.
The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
The overall consensus opinion of analysts has deteriorated sharply over the past four months.
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 company's earnings releases usually do not meet expectations.
