GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue grew 10%/yr over the last 3 years, ahead of 60% of companies worldwide.7/10

WATCH

Revenue grew 10%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 2%/yr.

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 2%/yr vs revenue 2%/yr).

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 83% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 2%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.3/10

Over five years revenue is set to grow 2%/yr, behind 80% of companies worldwide.2/10

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 +68% over three years and +87% over five, ahead of 60% of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (-2%).

Dependable multi-year returns with a calmer near-term tape. A reliable long-term trend rather than a short-term breakout.
