Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AGYS

10/22/2026: AGYS (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AGYS has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+67.0%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 21.3%) are partially offset by modest insider ownership of 3.63%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AGYS's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 12.3%). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is AGYS's strongest growth driver at +67.0% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+15.8%, solid) and free-cash-flow growth (+30.2%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 106.9% and approximately 95.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.63% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 19.87%

Quantitative Style Profile
