Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AMN receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AMN has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+34.9%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.6%) are partially offset by negative revenue growth (-8.5%), weak profitability (net margin -3.5%), very low insider ownership of 1.00%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AMN's financial health is supported by moderate cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (8.6% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is AMN's strongest growth driver at +34.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-8.5%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-2.4%, slightly negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 125.3% and approximately 99.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 1.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 17.15%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 5.89%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.44%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 4.39%
State Street Corp 4.37%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AMN generates approximately $283 of gross profit, $12 of operating income, and $86 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Soft margins explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 5.30%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
AMN has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
