Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AFGE receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid unit economics. The rating is constrained by soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AFGE has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and soft ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 17.1%) and solid profitability (net margin 10.3%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-5.1%), slightly negative revenue growth (-1.3%), very low insider ownership of 0.00%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AFGE's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.4B (17.1% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is AFGE's strongest growth driver at +21.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-1.3%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (-5.1%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 0.0% and approximately 0.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AFGE generates approximately $463 of gross profit, $131 of operating income, and $171 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: 21.53%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
AFGE has a relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
