Revenue grew 26%/yr over the last 3 years; forecasts see it cooling to 9%/yr.

WEAKNESSES

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Magnificent long-term results. Long-term holders have seen +132% over three years and +182% over five, ahead of 80% of the market.

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

It's down 34% over the past year, now 62% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-11%), over three months (-62%) and so far this year (-25%).

BOTTOM LINE

Outperformer in a Drawdown

A proven multi-year compounder now in a meaningful pullback well below its 52-week high. This is the classic fork: either a buy-the-dip in an intact uptrend, or the early stage of a trend change. Wait for the short-term slide to stabilise before adding. The one thing to watch: the one-year trend is weak.
