Le scénario haussier

Earnings growth of 30.6% is outpacing revenue, a sign of operational leverage — fixed costs are being absorbed across a larger base. Our valuation screen flags the stock as undervalued relative to its fundamentals — multiples are running below where the cash flow profile would normally justify.

Valorisation en contexte

The EV/EBITDA multiple of 9.57x is below the historical equity-market average — strategic acquirers would find the cash-flow profile attractive at this level.

À surveiller

• The share is trading at 95.7% of its 52-week range — a break above the recent high opens technical upside, a failure here often invites profit-taking.
