GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

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

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 10%/yr from here.

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 60% of companies worldwide.

Over five years revenue is set to grow 7%/yr, ahead of 50% of companies worldwide.6/10

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 29%/yr vs revenue 10%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 17% in year 3.

WEAKNESSES

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

BOTTOM LINE

Reaccelerating Grower

A middle-of-the-pack grower that's turning around. The one thing to watch: revenue has shrunk over the past 3 years.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+34% over three years and -8.9% over five), roughly average for the market.

WEAKNESSES

It's down 21% over the past year, now 32% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-22%), over three months (-23%) and so far this year (-24%).

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 one-year trend is weak.
