GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 34% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 2%/yr over the next 3 years, a little behind the market.4/10

Revenue grew 6%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 2%/yr.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 6%/yr, about average versus companies worldwide.5/10

WEAKNESSES

The company is loss-making, so its revenue growth is not backed by profit yet.

BOTTOM LINE

Margin Expander

A middle-of-the-pack grower that is slowing. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-51% over three years and -44% over five), behind 80% of the market.

It's down 47% over the past year, now 48% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-11%), over three months (-26%) and so far this year (-38%).

BOTTOM LINE

Falling Knife

Returns rank poorly over both the short and long run, and the price is still falling. Momentum is firmly negative — catching this is a bet against the tape, not with it. Wait for a base to form. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
