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 configuration.
The company has a good ESG score relative to its sector, according to Refinitiv.

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
The opinion of analysts covering the stock has improved over the past four months.
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

With relatively low growth outlooks, the group is not among those with the highest revenue growth potential.
The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
One of the major weak points of the company is its financial situation.
The company's valuation in terms of earnings multiples is rather high. Indeed, the firm is getting paid 47 times its estimated earnings per share for the ongoing year.
The company's "enterprise value to sales" ratio is among the highest in the world.
The company appears highly valued given the size of its balance sheet.
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, EPS estimates made by Standard & Poor's analysts have been revised downwards.
