Summary

From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.

Strengths

The prospective high growth for the next fiscal years is among the main assets of the company
The earnings growth currently anticipated by analysts for the coming years is particularly strong.
The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.

Consensus analysts have strongly revised their opinion of the company over the past 12 months.

Weaknesses
