GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Revenue fell 27%/yr over the last 3 years, and it is still set to shrink 16%/yr.

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 16%/yr vs revenue -16%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 30% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 97% of companies worldwide.

Revenue fell 27%/yr over the last 3 years, behind 90% of companies worldwide.1/10

Revenue is set to shrink 16%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.1/10

Over five years revenue is set to shrink 3%/yr, behind 90% of companies worldwide.1/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business whose decline is easing. The one thing to watch: revenue has shrunk over the past 3 years.
