By: John Honovich, Published on Oct 18, 2018

This spring, Axis had its best financials in many years (see Axis Strong Q2 2018 Results). However, over the summer, Axis had many products sold out.

New Axis financial results for Q3 2018 show decreased growth and mixed results, with strong US growth but flat in EMEA.

Inside this note, we examine Axis financials and look at the challenges and opportunities for the company.
