Summary

On the basis of various fundamental qualitative criteria, the company appears to be particularly poorly ranked from a medium and long-term investment perspective.
From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental situation

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
The company returns high margins, thereby supporting business profitability.
Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 8.37 and 5.91 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
Over the past twelve months, analysts' opinions have been strongly revised upwards.

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 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.
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 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.
