GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 14%/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 83% of companies worldwide.

Revenue fell 4%/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 2%/yr, behind 80% of companies worldwide.2/10

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

It's up 28% over the past year, but 13% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over three months (+2%) and so far this year (+25%).

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-7%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (+30% over three years and -39% over five), behind 70% of the market.

BOTTOM LINE

Early Turnaround

A poor multi-year track record but a sharp recent rally. Momentum is turning up, yet the trend is young and unproven — it needs follow-through to confirm rather than fade. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
