Strengths

The group's activity appears highly profitable thanks to its outperforming net margins.
With a P/E ratio at 9.58 for the current year and 10.33 for next year, earnings multiples are highly attractive compared with competitors.
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.
Historically, the company has been releasing figures that are above expectations.

Weaknesses

According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.
The potential for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the coming years appears limited according to current analyst estimates.
For the last four months, the sales outlook for the coming years has been revised downwards. No recovery of the group's activities is yet foreseen.
