MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over three months (-7%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-66% over three years and -68% over five), behind 90% of the market.

It's down 66% over the past year, now 66% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-11%) and so far this year (-59%).

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.
