MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong long-term results. Long-term holders have seen +128% over three years and +42% over five, ahead of 60% of the market.

It's up 18% over the past year, but 10% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming so far this year (+19%).

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over three months (-5%).

WEAKNESSES

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-8%).

BOTTOM LINE

Steady Compounder

Dependable multi-year returns with a calmer near-term tape. A reliable long-term trend rather than a short-term breakout. The one thing to watch: the stock is underperforming over the past month.
