  • Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
  • Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.
  • The equity is one of the most attractive in the market with regard to earnings multiple-based valuation.
  • The company has a low valuation given the cash flows generated by its activity.
  • This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.
  • 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 difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.

Weaknesses

  • As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.
  • The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
  • For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
