Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ATMU

10/19/2026: ATMU (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Atmus Filtration Technologies is a specialized manufacturer of filtration solutions primarily for heavy-duty engines and equipment. The company has a leading position in the aftermarket sector, where its well-known Fleetguard brand drives steady, recurring revenue. Its primary investment story centers on its ability to leverage this strong brand and advanced proprietary media technology to sustain profitability while expanding into new industrial areas. However, investors face risks, including potential long-term structural decline due to vehicle electrification and the company's relative lack of business diversification. The stock may best suit value-oriented investors seeking steady dividends from an established industrial player, though monitoring the pace of commercial transport electrification is essential.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ATMU receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ATMU has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+11.7%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.4%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+5.7%), very low insider ownership of 0.52%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ATMU's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 38.8%). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is ATMU's strongest growth driver at +162.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+11.7%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+5.7%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 109.8% and approximately 99.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.52%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

BlackRock Inc 15.18%
FMR Inc 6.52%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.64%
Amvescap Plc. 5.46%
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. 5.38%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ATMU generates approximately $289 of gross profit, $164 of operating income, and $84 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Moderate margins and soft cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is strong.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 22.09%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
ATMU has a high-quality, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
