Summary

The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility.
Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.

Strengths

The equity is one of the most attractive in the market with regard to earnings multiple-based valuation.
The stock, which is currently worth 2024 to 0.42 times its sales, is clearly overvalued in comparison with peers.
The company has a low valuation given the cash flows generated by its activity.
Analyst opinion has improved significantly over the past four months.
Over the past twelve months, analysts' opinions have been strongly revised upwards.
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.
The group usually releases upbeat results with huge surprise rates.

Weaknesses

With relatively low growth outlooks, the group is not among those with the highest revenue growth potential.
The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
The company's profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization characterizes fragile margins.
The company does not generate enough profits, which is an alarming weak point.
For the last few months, analysts have been revising downwards their earnings forecast.
