TheScreener

SIGMA HEALTHCARE suffers a double requalification, which weighs heavily on its rating, now at Neutral.

The independent financial analyst theScreener just downgraded the general evaluation of SIGMA HEALTHCARE (AU), active in the Drug Retailers industry. As regards its fundamental valuation, the title loses a star(s) and now shows 1 out of 4 stars. Its market behaviour is also negatively reassessed and may be considered as moderately risky. theScreener believes that this double requalification keeps the title under pressure and justifies an overall rating downgrade to Neutral.
