MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

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

WATCH

It's up 11% over the past year, but 26% below its 52-week high. That is right in line with the market.

Returns sit at the market level so far this year (+2%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-44% over three years and -58% over five), behind 90% of the market.

The stock is underperforming over three months (-14%).

BOTTOM LINE

Weak Tape

Returns across short and long horizons rank poorly versus the market. Momentum offers no support here; the case has to come from other factors. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
