Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

ASC receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

ASC has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid profitability (net margin 13.2%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-69.2%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -12.6%), negative revenue growth (-23.6%).

Financial Health Rating

ASC's financial health is supported by solid efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 8.1% of revenue). Cash strength is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

ASC's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -23.6% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-69.2%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-139.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 85.7% and approximately 84.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 9.59% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 7.78%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 6.11%
Wellington Management Company LLP 4.85%
Renaissance Technologies Corp 4.25%
American Century Companies Inc 4.25%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

ASC generates approximately $342 of gross profit, $261 of operating income, and $-126 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: 0.58%

Quantitative Style Profile

ASC has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
