Summary

Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.

Strengths

Given the positive cash flows generated by its business, the company's valuation level is an asset.
The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
Analyst opinion has improved significantly over the past four months.
Predictions on business development from analysts polled by Standard & Poor's are tight. This results from either a good visibility into core activities or accurate earnings releases.
Historically, the company has been releasing figures that are above expectations.

Weaknesses

According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.
The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
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, EPS estimates made by Standard & Poor's analysts have been revised downwards.
