Summary

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

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 5.08 and 4.63 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.
This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
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.
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.
Analysts' price targets are all relatively close, reflecting good visibility on the company's valuation.

Weaknesses

The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
One of the major weak points of the company is its financial situation.
