GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 9%/yr vs revenue -0.2%/yr), so margins should widen.

WATCH

Revenue fell 16%/yr over the last 3 years, and it is still set to hold flat.

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 93% of companies worldwide.

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

Revenue is set to hold flat over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.3/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business whose decline is easing. The one thing to watch: revenue has shrunk over the past 3 years.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It's up 20% over the past year, but 14% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (-1%), over three months (+13%) and so far this year (+16%).

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-14% over three years and +21% over five), behind 60% of the market.

BOTTOM LINE

Early Turnaround

A poor multi-year track record but a sharp recent rally. Momentum is turning up, yet the trend is young and unproven — it needs follow-through to confirm rather than fade. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
