GROWTH ASSESSMENT

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-6%), over three months (-5%) and so far this year (-9%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-9.2% over three years and +3.7% over five), behind 70% of the market.

It's down 13% over the past year, now 31% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

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.
