Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

BAND receives a 3-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and soft quantitative characteristics.

Company Fundamentals

BAND has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.9%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-97.9%), moderate revenue growth (+0.7%), soft profitability (net margin -1.7%).

Financial Health Rating

BAND's financial health is supported by moderate cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (8.9% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is BAND's strongest growth driver at +0.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-97.9%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-3.8%, slightly negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 103.2% and approximately 96.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.23% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 9.19%
D. E. Shaw & Co LP 4.07%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.71%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 2.92%
Wellington Management Company LLP 2.83%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

BAND generates approximately $391 of gross profit, $-19 of operating income, and $89 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: 22.17%

Quantitative Style Profile

BAND has a liquid profile. Valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
