Upturn Advisory & Investor View for APYX

10/09/2026: APYX (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Apyx Medical is a mid-to-small cap medical device company focused on energy-based cosmetic solutions, primarily its proprietary Helium Plasma-based Renuvion platform. The company's primary strength lies in its unique technology and growing recurring revenue from disposable handpieces used in skin-tightening procedures. Its core growth story centers on increasing the adoption of Renuvion among cosmetic surgeons and expanding its clinical indications. However, investors must consider high execution risks, intense competition from larger device manufacturers, and financial variability as the company matures. This stock is best suited for growth-oriented investors who can tolerate high volatility, with key developments to monitor including clinical adoption rates and regulatory progress.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
APYX has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+52.2%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -17.2%), moderate revenue growth (+9.9%), weak profitability (net margin -21.2%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
APYX's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 70.0%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is APYX's strongest growth driver at +52.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+51.4%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+9.9%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 50.6% and approximately 72.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 13.55% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
APYX generates approximately $360 of gross profit, $-122 of operating income, and $-172 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -2.49% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
APYX has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
