GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue grew 22%/yr over the last 3 years, ahead of 80% of companies worldwide.9/10

WATCH

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 1%/yr vs revenue -20%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 33% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 94% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to shrink 20%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.1/10

Revenue grew 22%/yr over the last 3 years, but it is set to shrink 20%/yr from here.

Over five years revenue is set to shrink 10%/yr, behind 90% of companies worldwide.1/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business heading into decline. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth trails the market.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It's up 8% over the past year, but 15% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-6%), over three months (-10%) and so far this year (+10%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (+9% over three years and -35% over five), behind 70% of the market.

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.
