Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AZZ receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AZZ has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+146.3%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 26.9%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+4.6%), modest insider ownership of 1.73%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AZZ's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (26.9% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is AZZ's strongest growth driver at +231.8% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+146.3%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+4.6%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 97.0% and approximately 98.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.73% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AZZ generates approximately $239 of gross profit, $160 of operating income, and $269 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 24.52%

Quantitative Style Profile

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