Summary
- From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.
- The company's Refinitiv ESG score, based on a relative ranking of the company within its sector, comes out particularly poor.
Strengths
- Analysts expect a sharply increasing business volume for the group, with high growth rates in the coming years.
- The company has attractive valuation levels with a low EV/sales ratio compared with its peers.
- The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
- Given the positive cash flows generated by its business, the company's valuation level is an asset.
- Over the past year, analysts have regularly revised upwards their sales forecast for the company.
- Growth remains a strong point in this company. In their sales forecast, analysts sound optimistic with regard to sales prospects.
- The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
Weaknesses
- 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 sustains low margins.
- The company is in a hindered financial situation with significant debt and rather low EBITDA levels.
- With a 2024 P/E ratio at 35.92 times the estimated earnings, the company operates at rather significant levels of earnings multiples.
- 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, 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.
- The average consensus view of analysts covering the stock has deteriorated over the past four months.
- Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
- Prospects from analysts covering the stock are not consistent. Such dispersed sales estimates confirm the poor visibility into the group's 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.
- Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
