GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 2%/yr from here.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 90% of companies worldwide.

Revenue fell 4%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 80% of companies worldwide.2/10

Revenue is set to grow 2%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.2/10

Over five years revenue is set to grow 3%/yr, behind 80% of companies worldwide.2/10

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

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business that's turning around. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It's up 15% over the past year, now 6% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (+3%), over three months (+51%) and so far this year (+35%).

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-25% over three years and -62% over five), behind 80% of the market.

BOTTOM LINE

Early Turnaround

A poor multi-year track record but a sharp recent rally. Momentum is turning up, yet the trend is young and unproven — it needs follow-through to confirm rather than fade. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
