Strengths

  • Before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the company's margins are particularly high.
  • Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised upwards significantly.
  • There is high visibility into the group's activities for the coming years. Outlooks on future revenues from analysts covering the equity remain similar. Such hardly dispersed estimates support highly predictable sales for the current and upcoming fiscal years.

Weaknesses

  • The group shows a rather high level of debt in proportion to its EBITDA.
  • With an expected P/E ratio at 38.8 and 33.62 respectively for both the current and next fiscal years, the company operates with high earnings multiples.
  • The company's "enterprise value to sales" ratio is among the highest in the world.
  • The company appears highly valued given the size of its balance sheet.
  • The valuation of the company is particularly high given the cash flows generated by its activity.
  • The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
  • The average consensus view of analysts covering the stock has deteriorated over the past four months.
  • Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
  • Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
