BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-3%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-43% over three years and -34% over five), behind 80% of the market.

It's down 29% over the past year, now 39% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over three months (-15%) and so far this year (-29%).

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.
