Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AXR

11/13/2026: AXR (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

AMREP Corporation is a long-standing real estate and services company that primarily focuses on land development in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, alongside its media fulfillment business. Its main strength lies in its significant land inventory, which provides valuable optionality for growth in the Southwest. The investment story centers on the potential for strategic land sales to drive significant capital returns. However, investors must consider risks like high sensitivity to cyclical real estate markets, regional concentration, and the secular decline of traditional media fulfillment. The stock is generally best suited for value-oriented investors who can tolerate volatility and have a long time horizon.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AXR has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong cash generation (FCF margin 24.2%) and solid profitability (net margin 19.5%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-19.1%), moderate revenue growth (+6.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AXR's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 78.9%). Overall financial-health metrics support a 4-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is AXR's strongest growth driver at +32.3% FY2026 versus FY2025 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-19.1%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 41.2% and approximately 55.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 46.31% supports management-shareholder alignment.

HPM Partners LLC 3.15%
Truffle Hound Capital, LLC 3.00%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 2.71%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AXR generates approximately $587 of gross profit, $234 of operating income, and $242 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Strong margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 27.17%

Quantitative Style Profile

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