Revenue is set to grow 234%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.10/10

Revenue held flat over the last 3 years and is set to grow 234%/yr from here.

The runway holds up: revenue is set to grow 162%/yr over five years.10/10

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

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

BOTTOM LINE

Top-Line Rocket

A top-tier grower that's speeding up. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-28% over three years and -73% over five), behind 90% of the market.

It's down 74% over the past year, now 75% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-42%), over three months (-48%) and so far this year (-56%).

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.
