GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It out-grows 75% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 16%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.9/10

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 16%/yr from here.

The runway holds up: revenue is set to grow 11%/yr over five years.8/10

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Revenue fell 4%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 80% of companies worldwide.2/10

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's turning around. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (+2%).

WATCH

It's up 24% over the past year, but 32% below its 52-week high. That is right in line with the market.

Returns sit at the market level so far this year (+6%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (+4.5% over three years and -11% over five), behind 70% 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.
