Summary

  • The company has attractive valuation levels with a low EV/sales ratio compared with its peers.
  • The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
  • Over the last twelve months, the sales forecast has been frequently revised upwards.
  • Over the last 4 months, analysts have significantly revised upwards the company's estimated sales.
  • The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.

Weaknesses

  • Sales estimates for the next fiscal years vary from one analyst to another. This clearly highlights a lack of visibility into the company's future activity.
  • The price targets of various analysts who make up the consensus differ significantly. This reflects different assessments and/or a difficulty in valuing the company.
  • Financial statements have repeatedly disappointed market stakeholders. Most often, they were below expectations.
