Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: Assystem S.A. is a global company that offers engineering and infrastructure project management services, with a market capitalization of €539.99 million.

Operations: Assystem S.A. generates revenue through its engineering and infrastructure project management services. The company's financial performance is reflected in its market capitalization of €539.99 million, indicating its valuation in the market.

Despite this impressive performance, recent challenges have led to a revision in their 2024 revenue target to €610 million due to delays in nuclear projects and budget issues in France and the UK. The company's debt-to-equity ratio has improved from 22.8% to 20.4% over five years, indicating prudent financial management. However, a significant one-off gain of €85.2 million impacted recent results, highlighting potential volatility in earnings quality moving forward.
