GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Revenue grew 4%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to keep growing around 3%/yr.

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 25%/yr vs revenue 3%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 10% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 87% of companies worldwide.

Revenue is set to grow 3%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.2/10

Over five years revenue is set to grow 2%/yr, behind 80% of companies worldwide.2/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

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

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (-10% over three years and +291% over five), roughly average for the market.

It's up 19% over the past year, but 32% below its 52-week high. That is right in line with the market.

Returns sit at the market level over three months (-9%) and so far this year (-2%).

WEAKNESSES

The stock is underperforming over the past month (-18%).

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 stock is underperforming over the past month.
