GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Revenue grew 7%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to keep growing around 5%/yr.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 5%/yr, behind 60% of companies worldwide.4/10

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 9%/yr vs revenue 5%/yr). One year dips: EPS falls 4% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 69% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 5%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.3/10

BOTTOM LINE

Margin Expander

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

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-24% over three years and -1.8% over five), behind 70% of the market.

It's down 53% over the past year, now 55% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-10%), over three months (-11%) and so far this year (-36%).

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.
