GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Revenue grew 0.5%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to keep growing around 2%/yr.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 87% of companies worldwide.

Revenue grew 0.5%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

Revenue is set to grow 2%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.2/10

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

The company is loss-making, so its revenue growth is not backed by profit yet.

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level so far this year (+1%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-35% over three years and -61% over five), behind 90% of the market.

It's down 18% over the past year, now 26% below its 52-week high. That is a touch behind the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-23%) and over three months (-19%).

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.
