Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ALSN

09/25/2026: ALSN (2-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Allison Transmission is a specialized industrial manufacturer known for providing reliable fully automatic transmissions to heavy-duty and commercial vehicle markets. The company maintains a leading position in vocational niches and has historically delivered strong margins through its aftermarket and service segments. Its core growth story centers on successfully transitioning its product portfolio to include eGen Power electric axles for the next generation of transport. Primary risks include rapid industry disruption from alternative electric drivetrains and exposure to cyclical industrial production cycles. Allison is generally well-suited for value and dividend-focused investors, provided they monitor the company’s progress in winning commercial electric vehicle integration contracts.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ALSN has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 21.6%) and strong profitability (net margin 20.7%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-14.8%), negative revenue growth (-6.7%), very low insider ownership of 0.73%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ALSN's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (21.6% of revenue). Overall financial-health metrics support a 4-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
ALSN's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being free-cash-flow growth at -1.4% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while revenue growth (-6.7%, negative) and earnings growth (-14.8%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 107.0% and approximately 99.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.73%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

FMR Inc 15.08%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.07%
BlackRock Inc 4.59%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.50%
Fuller & Thaler Asset Management Inc 4.11%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ALSN generates approximately $484 of gross profit, $323 of operating income, and $216 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 22.51%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
ALSN has a high-quality, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
