MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It's up 20% over the past year, but 18% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over three months (+6%) and so far this year (+38%).

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-20% over three years and -59% over five), behind 80% of the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-12%).

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.
