MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over three months (+8%).

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+33% over three years and +28% over five), roughly average for the market.

WEAKNESSES

It's down 40% over the past year, now 43% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-12%) and so far this year (-35%).

BOTTOM LINE

Weak Tape

Returns across short and long horizons rank poorly versus the market. Momentum offers no support here; the case has to come from other factors. The one thing to watch: the one-year trend is weak.
