Summary

The company presents an interesting fundamental situation from a short-term investment perspective.
The company has a good ESG score relative to its sector, according to Refinitiv.

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.
Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 8.57 and 8.25 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
Given the positive cash flows generated by its business, the company's valuation level is an asset.
This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
Considering the small differences between the analysts' various estimates, the group's business visibility is good.

Weaknesses

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
The company is in a hindered financial situation with significant debt and rather low EBITDA levels.
The company's "enterprise value to sales" ratio is among the highest in the world.
The price targets of various analysts who make up the consensus differ significantly. This reflects different assessments and/or a difficulty in valuing the company.
