Confident Investor comments: At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in Criteo SA as long as the price is correct and the indicators that I describe in my book The Confident Investor are favorable. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns. I am removing Criteo from my Watch List as there are better companies for me to invest in.

If you would like to understand how to evaluate companies like I do on this site, please read my book, The Confident Investor. You can review the best companies that I have found (and I probably invest my own money in most of these companies) in my Watch List.
