Summary

The company presents an interesting fundamental situation from a short-term investment perspective.

Strengths

The company has attractive valuation levels with a low EV/sales ratio compared with its peers.
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.
Analysts' price targets are all relatively close, reflecting good visibility on the company's valuation.

Weaknesses

With relatively low growth outlooks, the group is not among those with the highest revenue growth potential.
The company's currently anticipated earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next few years is a notable weakness.
As a percentage of sales and without taking into account depreciation and amortization, the company has relatively low margins.
The valuation of the company is particularly high given the cash flows generated by its activity.
