GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 7%/yr vs revenue -2%/yr), so margins should widen.

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 93% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to shrink 2%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.1/10

Revenue grew 5%/yr over the last 3 years, but it is set to shrink 2%/yr from here.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 0.7%/yr, behind 90% of companies worldwide.1/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

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

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It's up 21% 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 (+1%), over three months (+20%) and so far this year (+20%).

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-7.1% over three years and +7.8% over five), behind 70% 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.
