Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
BOKF has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+10.4%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 22.2%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (-1.1%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
BOKF's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (22.2% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is BOKF's strongest growth driver at +10.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-1.1%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-41.2%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 36.7% and approximately 30.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 63.33% supports management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
BOKF generates approximately $637 of gross profit, $214 of operating income, and $222 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 18.73%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
BOKF has a high-quality profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
