Summary

● The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of listed companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility criteria.

● In a short-term perspective, the company has interesting fundamentals.


Strengths

● The share is getting closer to its long-term support in weekly data, at EUR 76.88, which offers good timing for buyers.

● The close medium term support offers good timing for purchasing the stock.

● The company returns high margins, thereby supporting business profitability.

● Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.

● There is high visibility into the group's activities for the coming years. Outlooks on future revenues from analysts covering the equity remain similar. Such hardly dispersed estimates support highly predictable sales for the current and upcoming fiscal years.


Weaknesses

● With a 2016 P/E ratio at 25.86 times the estimated earnings, the company operates at rather significant levels of earnings multiples.

● The company is not the most generous with respect to shareholders' compensation.
