MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (+0%) and over three months (+3%).

WATCH

It's down 16% over the past year, now 21% below its 52-week high. That is a touch behind the market.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-8.3% over three years and +16% over five), behind 70% of the market.

The stock is underperforming so far this year (-10%).

BOTTOM LINE

Early Turnaround

A poor multi-year track record but a sharp recent rally. Momentum is turning up, yet the trend is young and unproven — it needs follow-through to confirm rather than fade. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
