GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue grew 33%/yr over the last 3 years, ahead of 90% of companies worldwide.10/10

WATCH

Revenue grew 33%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 4%/yr.

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 51%/yr vs revenue 4%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 84% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 71% of companies worldwide.

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

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

BOTTOM LINE

Margin Expander

Growth is a weak point here: a business that is slowing. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth trails the market.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It's up 44% over the past year, but 23% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over three months (+9%) and so far this year (+52%).

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+0% over three years and +77% over five), roughly average for the market.

WEAKNESSES

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-9%).

BOTTOM LINE

Fresh Momentum

Short-term returns are strong but the long track record is thin. Momentum is building — confirmation from longer horizons would strengthen the case. The one thing to watch: the stock is underperforming over the past month.
