GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It out-grows 88% of companies worldwide.

Revenue grew 133%/yr over the last 3 years, ahead of 90% of companies worldwide.10/10

Revenue is set to grow 21%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.9/10

The runway holds up: revenue is set to grow 17%/yr over five years.9/10

WATCH

Revenue grew 133%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 21%/yr.

WEAKNESSES

The company is loss-making, so its revenue growth is not backed by profit yet.

BOTTOM LINE

Top-Line Rocket

A top-tier grower that is slowing. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Magnificent long-term results. Long-term holders have seen +578% over three years and +842% over five, ahead of 90% of the market.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-3%).

WEAKNESSES

It's down 74% over the past year, now 76% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over three months (-27%) and so far this year (-45%).

BOTTOM LINE

Outperformer in a Drawdown

A proven multi-year compounder now in a meaningful pullback well below its 52-week high. This is the classic fork: either a buy-the-dip in an intact uptrend, or the early stage of a trend change. Wait for the short-term slide to stabilise before adding. The one thing to watch: the one-year trend is weak.
