Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
BLIN receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
BLIN has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-28.4%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -7.3%), moderate revenue growth (+0.2%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
BLIN's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 82.4% of revenue). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is BLIN's strongest growth driver at +0.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-28.4%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-41.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 12.9% and approximately 80.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 27.37% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 1.53%
