GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue grew 17%/yr over the last 3 years, ahead of 70% of companies worldwide.8/10

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 10%/yr vs revenue 6%/yr).

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 46% of companies worldwide.

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

Revenue grew 17%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 6%/yr.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 6%/yr, about average versus companies worldwide.5/10

WEAKNESSES

None flagged.

BOTTOM LINE

Maturing Grower

A middle-of-the-pack grower that is slowing. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth is only about average.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-6%) and over three months (-7%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-20% over three years and -2.6% over five), behind 70% of the market.

It's down 57% over the past year, now 60% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming so far this year (-56%).

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.
