Summary

  • From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental situation
  • The company has a good ESG score relative to its sector, according to Refinitiv.

Strengths

  • The company's profit outlook over the next few years is a strong asset.
  • Before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the company's margins are particularly high.
  • Analysts covering this company mostly recommend stock overweighting or purchase.
  • Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised upwards significantly.
  • Over the past twelve months, analysts' opinions have been strongly revised upwards.

Weaknesses

  • The company's valuation in terms of earnings multiples is rather high. Indeed, the firm is getting paid 50.8 times its estimated earnings per share for the ongoing year.
  • The company's enterprise value to sales, at 4.5 times its current sales, is high.
  • The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield 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 few months, analysts have been revising downwards their earnings forecast.
  • 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 various analysts who make up the consensus differ significantly. This reflects different assessments and/or a difficulty in valuing the company.
