Revenue grew a steady +12.2% a year over the last 4 fiscal years. Profit per share grew faster (+14.8% a year), so margins are widening as it scales. Analysts expect further profit growth next year: the forward multiple is +61.6% below the trailing one.

The windows point in different directions (+16.6% in 3 months against -0.1% over a year), so the trend has recently turned. The last three months are stronger than the six-month picture, so momentum is building rather than fading.

Net debt is only 1.23x EBITDA, comfortably repayable out of ordinary earnings. Debt at 66% of equity is a normal level of leverage. The Piotroski F-Score of 9/9 confirms improving fundamentals.

Return on equity of 22.6% means the company earns far more on its capital than it costs to fund. About 18% of every euro of revenue survives as net profit, which points to real pricing power. ROIC of 16.0% confirms the returns are not just an effect of leverage.
