GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Revenue is set to grow 4%/yr over the next 3 years, a little behind the market.4/10

Revenue grew 8%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 4%/yr.

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 2%/yr vs revenue 4%/yr). One year dips: EPS falls 8% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 72% of companies worldwide.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 3%/yr, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

BOTTOM LINE

Modest Grower

Growth is a weak point here: a business that is slowing. The one thing to watch: the five-year outlook is thin.
