GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Revenue grew 8%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 0.2%/yr.

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

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 13%/yr vs revenue 0.2%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 2% in year 2.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 83% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to hold flat over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.2/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business that is slowing. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth trails the market.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-5%) and over three months (-6%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-25% over three years and -84% over five), behind 80% of the market.

It's down 51% over the past year, now 63% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming so far this year (-58%).

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.
