Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

AVY has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.0%) is partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-2.4%), moderate revenue growth (+1.1%), soft profitability (net margin 7.8%).

Financial Health Rating

AVY's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (8.0% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is AVY's strongest growth driver at +1.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-2.4%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-2.4%, slightly negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 100.4% and approximately 98.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.64%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.42%
Wellington Management Company LLP 7.64%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.61%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 6.42%
State Street Corp 4.95%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

AVY generates approximately $288 of gross profit, $125 of operating income, and $80 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: 25.63%

Quantitative Style Profile

AVY has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
