Groupe CRIT is a French staffing firm that places temporary and permanent workers across industrial, transport and aerospace clients, with its margin base built on a large, mostly contract-driven placement business. The moat is thin: gross margin is 5.3% and operating margin 1.9%, so the case rests on operational discipline and on being the cheaper route into a labour-hungry sector, not on pricing power. Revenue growth of 1.8% is modest, and the forward P/E of 7.3 against a trailing 13.9 implies the market expects earnings to recover from a weak base, which is the claim to test first. At a 478M EUR market cap and a 5.3% ROE, the stock is cheap only if that margin recovery is real; if operating margin stays near 2%, the discount is earned. It merits a deeper look for the earnings-normalisation question, and it is not yet a name where the numbers settle the debate.
