GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

A mid-pack grower, ahead of 36% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 5%/yr over the next 3 years, a little behind the market.4/10

Revenue grew 5%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to keep growing around 5%/yr.

WEAKNESSES

Over five years revenue is set to grow 3%/yr, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

The company is loss-making, so its revenue growth is not backed by profit yet.

BOTTOM LINE

Margin Expander

A middle-of-the-pack grower. The one thing to watch: the company is not profitable yet.
