Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ASUR

11/10/2026: ASUR (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Asure Software Inc is a cloud-based provider of human capital management software and services, focused primarily on small and mid-sized businesses. The company's strengths lie in its sticky payroll and tax compliance workflows, which drive recurring revenue and client loyalty. Its primary growth opportunity centers on cross-selling a broader suite of HR and workforce tools to its existing base and leveraging new AI-driven capabilities like the Luna agent. Key risks include intense competition from much larger HCM providers and the ongoing challenge of achieving sustained GAAP profitability while scaling. Asure may suit growth-oriented investors, though potential shareholders should monitor management's execution on margin expansion and competitive positioning.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ASUR has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 15.2%) and solid revenue growth (+17.3%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-11.5%), weak profitability (net margin -9.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ASUR's financial health is supported by moderate cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (15.2% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is ASUR's strongest growth driver at +245.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+17.3%, solid) is also solid, while earnings growth (-11.5%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 73.2% and approximately 91.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 13.68% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Private Capital Management, LLC 13.95%
Needham Investment Management, LLC 8.75%
Jupiter Topco LLC 6.08%
BlackRock Inc 5.48%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.55%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ASUR generates approximately $675 of gross profit, $-60 of operating income, and $152 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses explain the 2-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -5.23% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

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