What to like:
Superior risk adjusted returns

This stock has performed well, on a risk adjusted basis, compared to its sector peers(for a hold period of at least 12 months) and is in the top quartile.

Underpriced compared to earnings

What to not like:

Low Revenue Growth

This stock has shown below median revenue growth in the previous 5 years compared to its sector
