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.
Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.
Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 6.74 and 7.06 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
Given the positive cash flows generated by its business, the company's valuation level is an asset.
The company is one of the best yield companies with high dividend expectations.
Analysts have consistently raised their revenue expectations for the company, which provides good prospects for the current and next years in terms of revenue growth.
Analysts covering this company mostly recommend stock overweighting or purchase.
The average target price set by analysts covering the stock is above current prices and offers a tremendous appreciation potential.

Weaknesses

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
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.
For the past year, analysts have significantly revised downwards their profit estimates.
The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been significantly revised downwards over the last four months.
The average consensus view of analysts covering the stock has deteriorated over the past four months.
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.
