GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue is set to grow 10%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.7/10

Revenue grew 2%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to grow 10%/yr from here.

The runway holds up: revenue is set to grow 10%/yr over five years.7/10

WATCH

Earnings are set to grow slower than sales (EPS about 4%/yr vs revenue 10%/yr), so margins are under pressure. One year dips: EPS falls 13% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 100% of companies worldwide.

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business that's speeding up. The one thing to watch: earnings are set to grow slower than sales.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It's up 5% over the past year, now sitting right at its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (+0%) and over three months (+17%).

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+66% over three years and +36% over five), roughly average for the market.

Returns sit at the market level so far this year (+6%).

WEAKNESSES

None flagged.

BOTTOM LINE

Fresh Momentum

Short-term returns are strong but the long track record is thin. Momentum is building — confirmation from longer horizons would strengthen the case.
