Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BFLY

09/17/2026: BFLY (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Butterfly Network is a health technology firm specializing in affordable, handheld ultrasound devices driven by its proprietary semiconductor-based Ultrasound-on-Chip technology. The company’s primary strength lies in its ability to provide portable diagnostic imaging at a lower price point than legacy systems, coupled with an AI-integrated software platform. Its growth story centers on expanding the reach of ultrasound into primary care and home settings. However, the company faces significant competition from well-capitalized imaging incumbents and high execution risk while scaling its operations to reach sustained profitability. Investors should monitor progress in subscription revenue growth and margin improvement, as the stock typically suits those with a higher risk tolerance.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

BFLY receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

BFLY has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with soft financial health, solid growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid revenue growth (+19.0%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-6.3%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -16.4%), soft profitability (net margin -79.0%).

Financial Health Rating

BFLY's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 62.0%). Operating efficiency is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is BFLY's strongest growth driver at +63.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+19.0%, solid) is also solid, while earnings growth (-6.3%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 61.5% and approximately 89.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 10.26% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 5.99%
Glenview Capital Management LLC 5.38%
Fosun International Ltd 3.84%
Hood River Capital Management LLC 3.24%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.08%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

BFLY generates approximately $469 of gross profit, $-885 of operating income, and $-164 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: -0.14% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

BFLY has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
