Summary

Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.

Strengths

Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 6.58 and 5.46 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
The stock, which is currently worth 2024 to 68.03 times its sales, is clearly overvalued in comparison with peers.
The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
Given the positive cash flows generated by its business, the company's valuation level is an asset.
For the last twelve months, analysts have been gradually revising upwards their EPS forecast for the upcoming fiscal year.
For the last few months, EPS revisions have remained quite promising. Analysts now anticipate higher profitability levels than before.
Analysts covering this company mostly recommend stock overweighting or purchase.
The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.

Weaknesses

According to forecast, a sluggish sales growth is expected for the next fiscal years.
Low profitability weakens the company.
The group shows a rather high level of debt in proportion to its EBITDA.
The company's earnings releases usually do not meet expectations.
