Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

CLS has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+97.9%) and solid revenue growth (+30.7%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 3.7%), soft profitability (net margin 6.7%), very low insider ownership of 0.99%.

Financial Health Rating

CLS's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (3.7% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is CLS's strongest growth driver at +97.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+30.7%, solid) and free-cash-flow growth (+53.9%, strong) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 67.5% and approximately 90.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.99%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Jane Street Group LLC 2.01%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

CLS generates approximately $117 of gross profit, $86 of operating income, and $37 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 15.33%

Quantitative Style Profile

CLS has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
