Strengths

The company is in a robust financial situation considering its net cash and margin position.
Over the past year, analysts have regularly revised upwards their sales forecast for the company.
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 price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been strongly revised upwards over the last four months.
Consensus analysts have strongly revised their opinion of the company over the past 12 months.
The group usually releases upbeat results with huge surprise rates.

Weaknesses

With an expected P/E ratio at 79.18 and 57.91 respectively for both the current and next fiscal years, the company operates with high earnings multiples.
The company's "enterprise value to sales" ratio is among the highest in the world.
The company is highly valued given the cash flows generated by its activity.
The average consensus view of analysts covering the stock has deteriorated over the past four months.
Sales estimates for the next fiscal years vary from one analyst to another. This clearly highlights a lack of visibility into the company's future activity.
