H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB (publ) (HMSB) Stock Verdict

Bastion scores H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB (publ) (HMSB) GEAR+ 27, Quality 57, Value 56, Growth 7, Momentum 21. It is a Specialty Retail, Consumer company. A middle-of-the-pack business on quality. Main watch-item: one margin lags the rest of the P&L. Growth is a weak point here that is slowing. The one thing to watch: the overall growth score is modest.

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 stock is underperforming over three months.
