GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 8%/yr vs revenue 4%/yr).

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 36% of companies worldwide.

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

Revenue grew 7%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 4%/yr.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 5%/yr, about average versus companies worldwide.5/10

WEAKNESSES

None flagged.

BOTTOM LINE

Margin Expander

A middle-of-the-pack grower that is slowing. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth is only about average.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-30% over three years and -47% over five), behind 80% of the market.

It's down 22% over the past year, now 39% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-19%), over three months (-21%) and so far this year (-33%).

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 multi-year record is weak.
