GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 10%/yr vs revenue 4%/yr), so margins should widen.

WATCH

Revenue grew 9%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 4%/yr.

WEAKNESSES

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

Revenue is set to grow 4%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.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 is slowing. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth trails the market.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong long-term results. Long-term holders have seen +42% over three years and +122% over five, ahead of 60% of the market.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over three months (-6%).

WEAKNESSES

It's down 5% over the past year, now 35% below its 52-week high. That is a touch behind the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-11%) and so far this year (-10%).

BOTTOM LINE

Outperformer in a Drawdown

A proven multi-year compounder now in a meaningful pullback well below its 52-week high. This is the classic fork: either a buy-the-dip in an intact uptrend, or the early stage of a trend change. Wait for the short-term slide to stabilise before adding. The one thing to watch: the one-year trend is weak.
