Summary

On the basis of various fundamental qualitative criteria, the company appears to be particularly poorly ranked from a medium and long-term investment perspective.
From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental situation

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
The company returns high margins, thereby supporting business profitability.
Its low valuation, with P/E ratio at 9.12 and 6.43 for the ongoing fiscal year and 2025 respectively, makes the stock pretty attractive with regard to earnings multiples.
The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
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.
The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.

Weaknesses

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 twelve months, the analysts covering the company have given a bearish overview of EPS estimates, resulting in frequent downward revisions.
Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised downwards significantly.
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.
