Summary

  • Overall, the company has poor fundamentals for a medium to long-term investment strategy.

Strengths

  • Before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the company's margins are particularly high.
  • The company is one of the best yield companies with high dividend expectations.
  • 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.
  • The divergence of price targets given by the various analysts who make up the consensus is relatively low, suggesting a consensus method of evaluating the company and its prospects.

Weaknesses

  • According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.

  • The company's enterprise value to sales, at 3.13 times its current sales, is high.
  • For the last 12 months, analysts have been regularly downgrading their EPS expectations. Analysts predict worse results for the company against their predictions a year ago.

  • The overall consensus opinion of analysts has deteriorated sharply over the past four months.
