Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

BIO-B has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+141.2%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 14.5%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+0.7%).

Financial Health Rating

BIO-B's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (14.5% of revenue). Operating efficiency is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is BIO-B's strongest growth driver at +141.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+40.7%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+0.7%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 0.0% and approximately 421.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 98.23% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

BIO-B generates approximately $520 of gross profit, $105 of operating income, and $145 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: 23.67%

Quantitative Style Profile

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