GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It out-grows 78% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 526%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.10/10

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 526%/yr from here.

The runway holds up: revenue is set to grow 334%/yr over five years.10/10

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Revenue fell 65%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 90% of companies worldwide.1/10

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

BOTTOM LINE

Top-Line Rocket

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

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming so far this year (+49%).

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+171% over three years and -42% over five), roughly average for the market.

It's up 3% over the past year, but 33% below its 52-week high. That is a touch behind the market.

Returns sit at the market level over three months (-7%).

WEAKNESSES

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-12%).

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 stock is underperforming over the past month.
