Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CELU

11/04/2026: CELU (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Celularity is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that specializes in developing off-the-shelf cell therapies derived from placental tissue. The company differentiates itself through a scalable manufacturing model and a portfolio of biomaterial products that generate current revenue. While its placental technology is innovative, the company faces high execution and financial risks common to developmental-stage biotech firms. It is best suited for growth-oriented investors who understand the high volatility of clinical trials and the long-term nature of biotech development. Key developments to monitor include upcoming clinical trial results, the company's ability to secure non-dilutive funding, and continued revenue growth in its biomaterial segment.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CELU has soft overall fundamentals (2 stars), with soft financial health, weak growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-58.4%), weak cash generation (FCF margin -49.9%), negative revenue growth (-51.0%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CELU's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being soft liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets -63.8%). Operating efficiency is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
CELU's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -51.0% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-58.4%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-102.0%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 11.5% and approximately 67.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 33.27% supports management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
CELU generates approximately $244 of gross profit, $-2,309 of operating income, and $-499 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
