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.
Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 7.79 and 7.27 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.
The company has a low valuation given the cash flows generated by its activity.
The company is one of the best yield companies with high dividend expectations.
Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
The average target price set by analysts covering the stock is above current prices and offers a tremendous appreciation potential.

Weaknesses

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
One of the major weak points of the company is its financial situation.
With an enterprise value anticipated at 3.28 times the sales for the current fiscal year, the company turns out to be overvalued.
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.
For the last four months, the sales outlook for the coming years has been revised downwards. No recovery of the group's activities is yet foreseen.
The price targets of analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
The company's earnings releases usually do not meet expectations.
