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 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.
Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.
Upward revisions of sales forecast reflect a renewed optimism among the analysts covering the stock.
Predictions on business development from analysts polled by Standard & Poor's are tight. This results from either a good visibility into core activities or accurate earnings releases.
Analysts' price targets are all relatively close, reflecting good visibility on the company's valuation.
The group usually releases upbeat results with huge surprise rates.

Weaknesses

The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
The company's valuation in terms of earnings multiples is rather high. Indeed, the firm is getting paid 50.28 times its estimated earnings per share for the ongoing year.
Based on current prices, the company has particularly high valuation levels.
The company appears highly valued given the size of its balance sheet.
The company is not the most generous with respect to shareholders' compensation.
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.
For the past year, analysts have significantly revised downwards their profit estimates.
