GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

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

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 4%/yr from here.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 5%/yr, behind 60% of companies worldwide.4/10

WEAKNESSES

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

Revenue fell 16%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 90% of companies worldwide.1/10

The company is loss-making, so its revenue growth is not backed by profit yet.

BOTTOM LINE

Margin Expander

Growth is a weak point here: a business that's turning around. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.

STRENGTHS

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-84% over three years and -88% over five), behind 90% of the market.

It's down 69% over the past year, now 70% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-28%), over three months (-16%) and so far this year (-33%).

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.
