GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 5%/yr vs revenue -0.7%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 29% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 96% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to shrink 0.7%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.1/10

Revenue grew 3%/yr over the last 3 years, but it is set to shrink 0.7%/yr from here.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 1%/yr, behind 80% of companies worldwide.2/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

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

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (-1%).

WATCH

It's down 6% over the past year, now 17% below its 52-week high. That is right in line with the market.

Returns sit at the market level over three months (-3%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (+1% over three years and +8% over five), behind 60% of the market.

The stock is underperforming so far this year (-11%).

BOTTOM LINE

Mixed Momentum

Horizons disagree or sit near the middle of the pack. Momentum investors may want a clearer trend before sizing up. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
