GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 10%/yr vs revenue 2%/yr), so margins should widen.

WATCH

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 2%/yr from here.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 84% of companies worldwide.

Revenue fell 1%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 80% of companies worldwide.2/10

Revenue is set to grow 2%/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

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business that's turning around. The one thing to watch: revenue has shrunk over the past 3 years.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-26% over three years and -44% over five), behind 80% of the market.

It's down 39% over the past year, now 40% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-20%), over three months (-28%) and so far this year (-10%).

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.
