Revenue grew +21.7% a year over the last 4 fiscal years, fast for a listed company. Profit per share moved in step at +22.0% a year. Analysts expect profit to fall back next year, since the forward multiple sits above the trailing one.

The share is down over every window (-9.0% in 3 months, -8.0% in 6, -12.1% in 12), a persistent downtrend. Recent months are weaker than the longer window, so momentum is fading.

Net debt is only 0.55x EBITDA, comfortably repayable out of ordinary earnings. Debt at 63% of equity is a normal level of leverage.

Return on equity of 59.8% means the company earns far more on its capital than it costs to fund. About 35% of every euro of revenue survives as net profit, which points to real pricing power. ROIC of 35.5% confirms the returns are not just an effect of leverage.

At 10.2x trailing earnings the share is cheap against the market. The forward P/E of 12 is higher than the trailing one, so next year's expected profit makes it look dearer. EV/EBITDA of 7.3 confirms the cheap reading including debt. A dividend yield of 4.4% adds to the return while you wait. Based on 75% of the inputs — the rest is not published for this instrument.

Annualised volatility of 41.7% means large swings are routine here. The worst fall in the past year was -35.6%, so drawdowns can be painful. A beta of 0.38 means it typically moves less than the market.
