GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 4%/yr from here.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 78% of companies worldwide.

Revenue fell 0.8%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

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

Over five years revenue is set to grow 3%/yr, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

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

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business that's turning around. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

It's up 8% over the past year, but 23% below its 52-week high. That is a touch ahead of the market.

Returns sit at the market level so far this year (+7%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (+29% over three years and -6.3% over five), behind 60% of the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-8%) and over three months (-10%).

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.
