A top-tier grower that is slowing. The one thing to watch: the pace is cooling.

Strong long-term results. Long-term holders have seen +67% over three years and +213% over five, ahead of 70% of the market.

It's up 4% over the past year, but 30% below its 52-week high. That is a touch behind the market.

Returns sit at the market level so far this year (-4%).

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-15%) and over three months (-20%).

Wait for the short-term slide to stabilise before adding. The one thing to watch: the stock is underperforming over the past month and over three months.
