Summary

Overall, the company has poor fundamentals for a medium to long-term investment strategy.
From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
The average target price set by analysts covering the stock is above current prices and offers a tremendous appreciation potential.

Weaknesses

The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
The company is in debt and has limited leeway for investment
The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
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.
The company's sales previsions for the coming years have been revised downwards, which foreshadows another slowdown in business.
For the past year, analysts have significantly revised downwards their profit estimates.
For the last four months, earnings estimated by analysts have been revised downwards with respect to the next two years.
Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised downwards significantly.
The average consensus view of analysts covering the stock has deteriorated over the past four months.
Sales estimates for the next fiscal years vary from one analyst to another. This clearly highlights a lack of visibility into the company's future activity.
The price targets of analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
