Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

BAER 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

BAER has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+126.6%) and solid revenue growth (+24.6%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -52.3%), soft profitability (net margin 3.4%).

Financial Health Rating

BAER's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 29.5% of revenue). Overall financial-health metrics support a 3-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is BAER's strongest growth driver at +126.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+24.6%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-1318.2%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 42.3% and approximately 75.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 19.53% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

BAER generates approximately $421 of gross profit, $125 of operating income, and $-523 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: -5.48% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

BAER has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
