GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue is set to grow 25%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.9/10

Revenue grew 4%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to grow 25%/yr from here.

The runway holds up: revenue is set to grow 15%/yr over five years.9/10

WATCH

Earnings are set to grow slower than sales (EPS about 8%/yr vs revenue 25%/yr), so margins are under pressure.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 100% of companies worldwide.

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business that's speeding up. The one thing to watch: earnings are set to grow slower than sales.
