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

Before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the company's margins are particularly high.
The group's activity appears highly profitable thanks to its outperforming net margins.
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 is one of the best yield companies with high dividend expectations.
The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
Consensus analysts have strongly revised their opinion of the company over the past 12 months.

Weaknesses

For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
The sales outlook for the group was lowered in the last twelve months. This change in forecast points out a decline in activity as well as pessimistic analyses of the company.
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.
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.
Prospects from analysts covering the stock are not consistent. Such dispersed sales estimates confirm the poor visibility into the group's activity.
The price targets of analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
