Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ADI receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ADI has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+38.7%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 38.8%) are partially offset by very low insider ownership of 0.24%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ADI's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $4.3B (38.8% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is ADI's strongest growth driver at +38.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+16.9%, solid) and free-cash-flow growth (+37.0%, strong) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 93.8% and approximately 99.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.24%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.55%
State Street Corp 4.76%
JPMorgan Chase & Co 4.28%
Amvescap Plc. 3.47%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ADI generates approximately $615 of gross profit, $266 of operating income, and $388 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: 16.40%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
ADI has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
