Summary

Strengths

Weaknesses

  • The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.

  • For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
  • 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.
