Summary

Overall, and from a short-term perspective, the company presents an interesting fundamental situation.

Strengths

The company is in a robust financial situation considering its net cash and margin position.
The company shows low valuation levels, with an enterprise value at -0.23 times its sales.
The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.
The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
Analyst opinion has improved significantly over the past four months.
Over the past twelve months, analysts' opinions have been strongly revised upwards.

Weaknesses

According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.
As a percentage of sales and without taking into account depreciation and amortization, the company has relatively low margins.
The company has insufficient levels of profitability.
For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
The average price target of analysts who are interested in the stock has been significantly revised downwards over the last four months.
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 analysts who cover the stock differ significantly. This implies difficulties in evaluating the company and its business.
