Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ALSN

10/23/2026: ALSN (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Allison Transmission Holdings Inc is a specialized manufacturer of high-performance transmissions for commercial and defense vehicles, known for its strong market position and reliable cash flow. The company's primary strength lies in its legacy of performance in vocational vehicles and a steady aftermarket business. Its main growth opportunity involves the deployment of its eGen electric powertrain solutions to address the industry-wide shift toward electrification. Investors must balance this potential with risks regarding OEM vertical integration and cyclical commercial vehicle demand. It may suit investors seeking a combination of value-oriented stock pricing, reliable dividend income, and exposure to the ongoing electric-powertrain transition.

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 106.8% 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.

BlackRock Inc 4.81%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.53%
Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc 3.85%

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.
