Strengths
  • The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
  • The company returns high margins, thereby supporting business profitability.
  • Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
  • The opinion of analysts covering the stock has improved over the past four months.
  • Consensus analysts have strongly revised their opinion of the company over the past 12 months.
  • There is high visibility into the group's activities for the coming years. Outlooks on future revenues from analysts covering the equity remain similar. Such hardly dispersed estimates support highly predictable sales for the current and upcoming fiscal years.

  • Weaknesses
    • With relatively low growth outlooks, the group is not among those with the highest revenue growth potential.
    • With an enterprise value anticipated at 3.57 times the sales for the current fiscal year, the company turns out to be overvalued.
