GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue is set to grow 300%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.7/10

Revenue held flat over the last 3 years and is set to grow 300%/yr from here.

The runway holds up: revenue is set to grow 258%/yr over five years.10/10

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 62% of companies worldwide.

WEAKNESSES

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

BOTTOM LINE

Top-Line Rocket

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

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming so far this year (+68%).

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-3%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (+10% over three years and -42% over five), behind 70% of the market.

It's up 5% over the past year, but 71% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over three months (-21%).

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.
