Summary

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

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 equity is one of the most attractive in the market with regard to earnings multiple-based valuation.
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.
This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
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

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
One of the major weak points of the company is its financial situation.
The company's enterprise value to sales, at 3.28 times its current sales, is high.
For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
Revenue estimates are regularly revised downwards for the current and coming years.
The price targets of various analysts who make up the consensus differ significantly. This reflects different assessments and/or a difficulty in valuing the company.
Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
