Summary

  • The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility.
  • 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.
  • 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 a 2024 P/E ratio at 27.44 times the estimated earnings, the company operates at rather significant levels of earnings multiples.
  • The company appears highly valued given the size of its balance sheet.
  • The valuation of the company is particularly high given the cash flows generated by its activity.
  • For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
  • The company's sales previsions for the coming years have been revised downwards, which foreshadows another slowdown in business.
