MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+66% over three years and -17% over five), roughly average for the market.

WEAKNESSES

It's down 17% over the past year, now 30% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-12%), over three months (-16%) and so far this year (-25%).

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 one-year trend is weak.
