Summary

The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility.
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 -0.15 times its sales.
The company appears to be poorly valued given its net asset value.
For the past twelve months, EPS forecast has been revised upwards.
The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
The opinion of analysts covering the stock has improved over the past four months.
Consensus analysts have strongly revised their opinion of the company over the past 12 months.

Weaknesses

As a percentage of sales and without taking into account depreciation and amortization, the company has relatively low margins.
Low profitability weakens the company.
For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
The sales outlook for the group was lowered in the last twelve months. This change in forecast points out a decline in activity as well as pessimistic analyses of the company.
Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised downwards significantly.
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 various analysts who make up the consensus differ significantly. This reflects different assessments and/or a difficulty in valuing the company.
The company's earnings releases usually do not meet expectations.
