GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue grew 13%/yr over the last 3 years, ahead of 70% of companies worldwide.8/10

WATCH

Revenue grew 13%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 4%/yr.

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 1%/yr vs revenue 4%/yr). One year dips: EPS falls 10% in year 2.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 71% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 4%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.3/10

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

BOTTOM LINE

Steady Grower

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

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Magnificent long-term results. Long-term holders have seen +153% over three years and +255% over five, ahead of 80% of the market.

It's up 83% over the past year, but 10% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over three months (+60%).

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level so far this year (+11%).

WEAKNESSES

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-8%).

BOTTOM LINE

Steady Compounder

Dependable multi-year returns with a calmer near-term tape. A reliable long-term trend rather than a short-term breakout. The one thing to watch: the stock is underperforming over the past month.
