GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It out-grows 86% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 41%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.9/10

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 41%/yr from here.

The runway holds up: revenue is set to grow 14%/yr over five years.8/10

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Revenue fell 1%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 80% of companies worldwide.2/10

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

None flagged.

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+68% over three years and -8.9% over five), roughly average for the market.

It's up 62% over the past year, but 74% below its 52-week high. That is right in line with the market.

WEAKNESSES

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-27%), over three months (-48%) and so far this year (-11%).

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, over three months and so far this year.
