GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 6%/yr from here.

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 45% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 6%/yr over the next 3 years, in line with the market.5/10

Over five years revenue is set to grow 8%/yr, ahead of 50% of companies worldwide.6/10

WEAKNESSES

Revenue fell 2%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 80% of companies worldwide.2/10

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

BOTTOM LINE

Steady Grower

A middle-of-the-pack grower that's turning around. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.

It's up 6% over the past year, but 11% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming so far this year (+16%).

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-6%) and over three months (-6%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (+7% over three years and +19% over five), behind 60% of the market.
