Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CDIO

10/16/2026: CDIO (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Cardio Diagnostics Holdings Inc is an early-stage healthcare technology company focused on AI-driven, epigenetic cardiovascular diagnostics. The company's primary strength lies in its proprietary molecular diagnostic platform, designed to detect heart disease risk earlier than traditional methods. Its investment story centers on the scaling of its testing services and the potential for broad clinical and insurance adoption. However, the company faces significant risks, including high cash burn, execution challenges, and competition from large established diagnostic firms. This stock is best suited for speculative growth investors with a high risk tolerance who are prepared to monitor clinical data, reimbursement progress, and liquidity management closely.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CDIO receives a 2-star rating, reflecting soft or weak scores across the available pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CDIO has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, soft growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+22.5%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -39893.1%), negative revenue growth (-57.5%), weak profitability (net margin -43832.5%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CDIO's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 68.4%). Operating efficiency is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is CDIO's strongest growth driver at +22.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-57.5%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-9.6%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 6.5% (soft) and 95.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership of 8.31% supports management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
CDIO generates approximately $1,000 of gross profit, $-437,375 of operating income, and $-398,931 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CDIO has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while soft valuation.
