Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

ADCT receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

ADCT has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+9.6%) and solid revenue growth (+14.9%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -173.8%), soft profitability (net margin -175.3%).

Financial Health Rating

ADCT's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 73.1%). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is ADCT's strongest growth driver at +14.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-13.4%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 67.6% and approximately 69.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 14.42% supports management-shareholder alignment.
