MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+86% over three years and -24% over five), roughly average for the market.

It's down 10% over the past year, now 21% below its 52-week high. That is a touch behind the market.

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-6%), over three months (-7%) and so far this year (-8%).

WEAKNESSES

None flagged.

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.
