Key financials The company reports strong profitability with ROE at 26.9%, ROA at 7.3%, and ROCE at 33.3%.

Stock health Momentum is robust with 3m, 6m, and 12m returns of 16.56%, 51.09%, and 27.34%, respectively. The RSI(14) is 59.40, indicating moderate upward pressure. Quality and income scores are high at 68.9 and 72.7, respectively, while Valuation sits at the 53.9th percentile.
Price vs fair value The stock trades at a **PREMIUM of 3.70%** versus our fair-value estimate of 31.72 and a **discount of 15.78%** versus the analyst 12-month target of 38.15. - Trading at a premium to fair value despite strong quality and momentum (Sideravia Score 63.0). - Analyst target implies 15.78% upside, suggesting undervaluation relative to near-term expectations (analyst count 20.0). - High profitability (ROE 26.9%) and income yield (2.2%) support valuation, but P/E of 19.92 (fwd) may limit further multiple expansion.
Looking forward Forward P/E of 19.92 and EV/EBITDA of 13.72 reflect moderate valuation, while growth and momentum remain supportive. Execution in high-margin segments and cost discipline will be key to sustaining returns and closing the valuation gap.
