GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue grew 3%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to grow 9%/yr from here.

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 24%/yr vs revenue 9%/yr), so margins should widen.

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 60% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 9%/yr over the next 3 years, a little ahead of the market.6/10

Over five years revenue is set to grow 7%/yr, ahead of 50% of companies worldwide.6/10

WEAKNESSES

None flagged.

BOTTOM LINE

Margin Expander

A middle-of-the-pack grower that's speeding up.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level so far this year (-9%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-9.6% over three years and -21% over five), behind 80% of the market.

It's down 18% over the past year, now 40% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-9%) and over three months (-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.
