Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

API receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

API has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+122.4%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -3.3%), moderate revenue growth (+5.9%), soft profitability (net margin 6.8%).

Financial Health Rating

API's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 28.2%). Overall financial-health metrics support a 3-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is API's strongest growth driver at +122.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+90.5%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+5.9%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 38.6% and approximately 84.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.02% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Susquehanna International Group, LLP 8.85%
TMT General Partner Ltd 2.78%
Hillhouse Capital Advisors, Ltd. 2.48%
Allspring Global Investments Holdings, LLC 2.11%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 1.26%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

API generates approximately $664 of gross profit, $-67 of operating income, and $-33 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: 3.28%

Quantitative Style Profile

API has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
