MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Magnificent long-term results. Long-term holders have seen +125% over three years and +130% over five, ahead of 70% of the market.

It's up 14% over the past year, but 15% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (+4%).

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over three months (-6%) and so far this year (+2%).

WEAKNESSES

None flagged.

BOTTOM LINE

Steady Compounder

Dependable multi-year returns with a calmer near-term tape. A reliable long-term trend rather than a short-term breakout.
