GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue grew 10%/yr over the last 3 years, ahead of 60% of companies worldwide.7/10

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 7%/yr vs revenue 5%/yr).

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 42% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 5%/yr over the next 3 years, a little behind the market.4/10

Revenue grew 10%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 5%/yr.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 6%/yr, about average versus companies worldwide.5/10

WEAKNESSES

None flagged.

BOTTOM LINE

Maturing Grower

A middle-of-the-pack grower that is slowing. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth is only about average.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

It's down 19% over the past year, now 20% below its 52-week high. That is a touch behind the market.

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

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-30% over three years and -35% over five), behind 80% of the market.

The stock is underperforming over three months (-9%).

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.
