Financials forecast are encouraging, sales and EBITDA are expected to increase of more than 7%. EPS estimates were upward revised by the Thomson Reuters consensus over the past 12 months.
Technically, the security is in a bullish trend in the long term and has been evolving in a consolidation tunnel for about 3 months. Some technical aggregates are in favor of an acceleration. Indeed, the share is currently near its short term support and almost on contact with its 100-day moving average.
