MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It's up 18% over the past year, now 7% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (+2%) and so far this year (+15%).

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over three months (-3%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-7.2% over three years and -20% over five), behind 70% of the market.

BOTTOM LINE

Early Turnaround

A poor multi-year track record but a sharp recent rally. Momentum is turning up, yet the trend is young and unproven — it needs follow-through to confirm rather than fade. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
