Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

ABM receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

ABM has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+99.5%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 1.8%), moderate revenue growth (+4.6%), soft profitability (net margin 1.9%).

Financial Health Rating

ABM's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (1.8% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is ABM's strongest growth driver at +99.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+4.6%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (-7.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 102.4% and approximately 98.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.55% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 15.15%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 6.98%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 6.95%
State Street Corp 5.18%
Harris Associates L.P. 4.97%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

ABM generates approximately $117 of gross profit, $37 of operating income, and $18 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 26.19%

Quantitative Style Profile

ABM has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
