GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

The runway holds up: revenue is set to grow 9%/yr over five years.7/10

WATCH

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

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

Revenue grew 6%/yr over the last 3 years and is set to keep growing around 4%/yr.

Earnings are set to grow faster than sales (EPS about 73%/yr vs revenue 4%/yr), so margins should widen. One year dips: EPS falls 69% next year.

WEAKNESSES

None flagged.

BOTTOM LINE

Margin Expander

A middle-of-the-pack grower. The one thing to watch: forward revenue growth is only about average.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (+1%) and so far this year (+25%).

WATCH

None flagged.

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-32% over three years and -16% over five), behind 80% of the market.

It's down 5% over the past year, now 59% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

The stock is underperforming over three months (-14%).

BOTTOM LINE

Early Turnaround

A poor multi-year track record but a sharp recent rally. Momentum is turning up, yet the trend is young and unproven — it needs follow-through to confirm rather than fade. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
