GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue grew 2%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to grow 5%/yr from here.

The runway holds up: revenue is set to grow 8%/yr over five years.7/10

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 38% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 5%/yr over the next 3 years, a little behind the market.4/10

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 12%/yr vs revenue 5%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 16% next year.

WEAKNESSES

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

BOTTOM LINE

Steady Grower

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

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-3%) and over three months (+1%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-48% over three years and -50% over five), behind 90% of the market.

It's down 42% over the past year, now 47% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming so far this year (-31%).

BOTTOM LINE

Weak Tape

Returns across short and long horizons rank poorly versus the market. Momentum offers no support here; the case has to come from other factors. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
