Summary

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
The company is in a robust financial situation considering its net cash and margin position.
This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
For the last few months, EPS revisions have remained quite promising. Analysts now anticipate higher profitability levels than before.

Weaknesses

The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
The company's "enterprise value to sales" ratio is among the highest in the world.
The company appears highly valued given the size of its balance sheet.
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.
