MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (+1%), over three months (+42%) and so far this year (+38%).

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+5.1% over three years and +254% over five), roughly average for the market.

WEAKNESSES

It's down 28% over the past year, now 29% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

BOTTOM LINE

Fresh Momentum

Short-term returns are strong but the long track record is thin. Momentum is building — confirmation from longer horizons would strengthen the case. The one thing to watch: the one-year trend is weak.
