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.

Strengths

The company's EBITDA/Sales ratio is relatively high and results in high margins before depreciation, amortization and taxes.
Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
For the past year, analysts covering the stock have been revising their EPS expectations upwards in a significant manner.
For the last few months, EPS revisions have remained quite promising. Analysts now anticipate higher profitability levels than before.
Analysts have a positive opinion on this stock. Average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.
The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
Consensus analysts have strongly revised their opinion of the company over the past 12 months.

Weaknesses

With relatively low growth outlooks, the group is not among those with the highest revenue growth potential.
For the last twelve months, sales expectations have been significantly downgraded, which means that less important sales volumes are expected for the current fiscal year over the previous period.
Revenue estimates are regularly revised downwards for the current and coming years.
