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.

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 9%/yr vs revenue 4%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 58% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 77% of companies worldwide.

Revenue fell 0.9%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

Over five years revenue is set to grow 4%/yr, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business that's turning around. The one thing to watch: revenue has shrunk over the past 3 years.
