Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

BV has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-15.7%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 1.4%), slightly negative revenue growth (-3.4%).

Financial Health Rating

BV's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (1.4% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

BV's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -3.4% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-15.7%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-70.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 104.8% and approximately 73.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.63% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co LP 23.25%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 5.91%
BlackRock Inc 5.63%
Van Berkom and Associates Inc 5.42%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 3.52%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

BV generates approximately $233 of gross profit, $50 of operating income, and $14 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: 31.12%

Quantitative Style Profile

BV has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
