Context and risks
Rising interest rates in Europe (ECB) make financing more expensive for both customers and the company, which has a very high Net Debt/EBITDA of 7.14, amplifying refinancing risk.

Verdict: Hold. The stock is cheap and the dividend is attractive, but high debt and rising interest rates in Europe warrant caution.
Main risk: The main risk is the very high financial leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA of 7.14), which in a rising ECB rate environment could strain the balance sheet and limit investment capacity and shareholder returns.
