GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 2%/yr from here.

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 13%/yr vs revenue 2%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 51% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 92% of companies worldwide.

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

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

Over five years revenue is set to grow 0.9%/yr, behind 90% of companies worldwide.1/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business that's turning around. The one thing to watch: revenue has shrunk over the past 3 years.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (-1%).

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+6.7% over three years and +172% over five), roughly average for the market.

Returns sit at the market level so far this year (-8%).

WEAKNESSES

It's down 11% over the past year, now 32% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over three months (-13%).

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.
