Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ALGN 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

★★★★★
ALGN has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 12.2%) and solid profitability (net margin 10.2%) are partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-2.6%), moderate revenue growth (+0.9%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ALGN's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (12.2% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is ALGN's strongest growth driver at +0.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-2.6%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-21.2%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 105.1% and approximately 94.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 6.13% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 29.89%

Quantitative Style Profile
