Summary

Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.

Strengths

The company is one of the most undervalued, with an "enterprise value to sales" ratio at 0.32 for the 2023 fiscal year.
The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
The average target price set by analysts covering the stock is above current prices and offers a tremendous appreciation potential.
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.

Weaknesses

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
As a percentage of sales and without taking into account depreciation and amortization, the company has relatively low margins.
For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
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.
Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
