Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

CLAR receives a 3-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

CLAR has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+11.0%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -4.0%), negative revenue growth (-5.2%), soft profitability (net margin -18.6%).

Financial Health Rating

CLAR's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 52.6%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is CLAR's strongest growth driver at +29.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+11.0%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (-5.2%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 65.2% and approximately 62.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 7.15% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Greenhouse Funds LLLP 14.23%
BlackRock Inc 4.63%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.26%
Parthenon Capital Management LLC 3.24%
Potomac Capital Management, Inc. 2.95%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

CLAR generates approximately $331 of gross profit, $-107 of operating income, and $-40 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: 18.45%

Quantitative Style Profile

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