Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

CNDT has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-139.9%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -5.1%), negative revenue growth (-9.4%).

Financial Health Rating

CNDT's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 16.2%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

CNDT's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -9.4% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-139.9%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-45.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 75.6% and approximately 91.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 10.08% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.24%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

CNDT generates approximately $181 of gross profit, $-19 of operating income, and $-51 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: -6.25% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

CNDT has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
