GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue is set to grow 12%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.7/10

Revenue grew 2%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to grow 12%/yr from here.

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 56% of companies worldwide.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 4%/yr, behind 60% of companies worldwide.4/10

Earnings are set to grow slower than sales (EPS about 7%/yr vs revenue 12%/yr), so margins are under pressure. One year dips: EPS falls 52% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Revenue grew 2%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

BOTTOM LINE

Reaccelerating Grower

A middle-of-the-pack grower that's speeding up. The one thing to watch: the 3-year revenue record is weak.
