Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

ALCO receives a 3-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

ALCO has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 33.2%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-2212.9%), negative revenue growth (-5.5%), soft profitability (net margin -334.3%).

Financial Health Rating

ALCO's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 24.4%). Profitability is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is ALCO's strongest growth driver at +130.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-5.5%, negative) and earnings growth (-2212.9%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 64.5% and approximately 75.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 26.75% supports management-shareholder alignment.

ALCO generates approximately $-4,362 of gross profit, $-4,627 of operating income, and $332 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: 20.67%
