Summary

  • On the basis of various fundamental qualitative criteria, the company appears to be particularly poorly ranked from a medium and long-term investment perspective.
  • 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 7.11 and 6.63 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
  • 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.
  • This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
  • Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
  • The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
  • Predictions on business development from analysts polled by Standard & Poor's are tight. This results from either a good visibility into core activities or accurate earnings releases.

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.
  • One of the major weak points of the company is its financial situation.
  • With an enterprise value anticipated at 3.12 times the sales for the current fiscal year, the company turns out to be overvalued.
  • For the last twelve months, sales expectations have been significantly downgraded, which means that less important sales volumes are expected for the current fiscal year over the previous period.
  • Revenue estimates are regularly revised downwards for the current and coming years.
  • For the past year, analysts have significantly revised downwards their profit estimates.
  • The price targets of analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
  • Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
