GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue grew 19%/yr over the last 3 years, ahead of 80% of companies worldwide.9/10

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 12%/yr vs revenue -4%/yr), so margins should widen.

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 89% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to shrink 4%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.1/10

Revenue grew 19%/yr over the last 3 years, but it is set to shrink 4%/yr from here.

Over five years revenue is set to shrink 2%/yr, behind 90% of companies worldwide.1/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business heading into decline. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth trails the market.
