Basis for the growth

The past can be a great indicator for future performance for a stock. We can determine whether this level of expected growth is illustrative of future headwinds or whether the company continues to grapple with higher growth. DM delivered a high double-digit growth rate in the past year, compared to the less exciting rate expected this year. This may indicate a more sustainable level of growth as the company comes off a high-growth period. Conversely, a weaker company outlook may raise the question of its ability to continue outperforming.
