GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 0.9%/yr vs revenue -0.2%/yr). One year dips: EPS falls 10% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 92% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to hold flat over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.2/10

Revenue grew 2%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to slip around 0.2%/yr from here.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 3%/yr, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business edging into decline. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth trails the market.

STRENGTHS

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-40% over three years and -41% over five), behind 80% of the market.

It's down 46% over the past year, now 48% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-9%), over three months (-18%) and so far this year (-40%).

BOTTOM LINE

Falling Knife

Returns rank poorly over both the short and long run, and the price is still falling. Momentum is firmly negative — catching this is a bet against the tape, not with it. Wait for a base to form. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
