Warning signs

• Operating profit covers interest only 3 times: a weak year could make the payments hard.

• The price is 42.8 times earnings (P/E): the market already pays for a lot of future growth.
• The stock has fallen as much as 49% from a peak. Would you have held through that?
• Recovering from its deepest fall took about 1.7 years.
