Expert Opinion: 
The guidance is in line with the consensus, both for this year and for the improvement going forward. The expected resumption of business with China on Cognac and America will gradually occur . Even though comments suggest Q1 and Q2 will remain tough, our expert expects we now have seen the trough in terms of momentum and newsflow. He expects the stock will gradually rerate as eps growth accelerates down the line.
