GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 7%/yr vs revenue 4%/yr).

WATCH

Revenue is set to grow 4%/yr over the next 3 years, a little behind the market.4/10

Revenue grew 2%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to keep growing around 4%/yr.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 4%/yr, behind 60% of companies worldwide.4/10

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 72% of companies worldwide.

BOTTOM LINE

Steady Grower

Growth is a weak point here. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth is only about average.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

It's down 4% over the past year, now 13% below its 52-week high. That is a touch ahead of the market.

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-3%), over three months (-7%) and so far this year (-1%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (+0.4% over three years and -16% 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.
