BOTTOM LINE

Top-Line Rocket

A middle-of-the-pack grower that's turning around. Revenue is scaling rapidly but the company is not profitable yet. High upside if it reaches scale, higher risk if growth stalls before profits arrive. The strongest point: revenue is set to grow 13%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.

BOTTOM LINE

Weak Tape

Returns across short and long horizons rank poorly versus the market. Momentum offers no support here; the case has to come from other factors. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.

BOTTOM LINE

Moderate Value

A fairly-priced stock. A mix of reasonable multiples and yields without extreme cheapness. Can work in diversified value portfolios, but not a standout bargain. The strongest point: its three-year P/E of 8x is 77% below that median. The one thing to watch: the earnings multiple is high.

BOTTOM LINE

Stretched Balance Sheet

Business quality is a weak point here. Debt is high relative to earnings and overall quality is below the market. Balance-sheet risk is the main watch-item. The strongest point: it throws off free cash flow at a 15% FCF yield, higher than 90% of companies worldwide. The one thing to watch: the net margin is negative.
