Summary

Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.
According to Refinitiv, the company's ESG score for its industry is poor.

Strengths

The company's profit outlook over the next few years is a strong asset.
The equity is one of the most attractive in the market with regard to earnings multiple-based valuation.
The stock, which is currently worth 2024 to 0.23 times its sales, is clearly overvalued in comparison with peers.
The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
Given the positive cash flows generated by its business, the company's valuation level is an asset.
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 average target price set by analysts covering the stock is above current prices and offers a tremendous appreciation potential.
Considering the small differences between the analysts' various estimates, the group's business visibility is good.

Weaknesses

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
The company's profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization characterizes fragile margins.
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 four months, earnings estimated by analysts have been revised downwards with respect to the next two years.
Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
The price targets of analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
