GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Revenue is set to grow 13%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market.7/10

Revenue grew 2%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to grow 13%/yr from here.

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 10%/yr vs revenue 13%/yr).

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 61% of companies worldwide.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 5%/yr, behind 60% of companies worldwide.4/10

WEAKNESSES
