Summary

From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
The group's activity appears highly profitable thanks to its outperforming net margins.
Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.
With a P/E ratio at 13.13 for the current year and 15.17 for next year, earnings multiples are highly attractive compared with competitors.
The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.
Given the positive cash flows generated by its business, the company's valuation level is an asset.
Over the last twelve months, the sales forecast has been frequently revised upwards.
For the last twelve months, analysts have been gradually revising upwards their EPS forecast for the upcoming fiscal year.

The average target price set by analysts covering the stock is above current prices and offers a tremendous appreciation potential.

Weaknesses

According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.
The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
Based on current prices, the company has particularly high valuation levels.
The company's sales previsions for the coming years have been revised downwards, which foreshadows another slowdown in business.
For the last few months, analysts have been revising downwards their earnings forecast.
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.
