Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CODI

11/09/2026: CODI (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Compass Diversified Holdings is a publicly traded partnership that manages a diverse portfolio of middle-market businesses, offering investors a unique hybrid between a private equity firm and an operating company. Its primary strength lies in its permanent capital structure, which allows for long-term ownership and steady cash flow distributions. The investment story centers on acquiring and growing brands while maintaining a consistent dividend for shareholders. However, the company faces risks from holding-company leverage and potential sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. It is best suited for income-focused investors who can tolerate some volatility, and stakeholders should monitor debt levels and the performance of its core branded consumer subsidiaries.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CODI has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-9.8%), weak cash generation (FCF margin -2.7%), moderate revenue growth (+4.8%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CODI's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 16.3%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is CODI's strongest growth driver at +58.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+4.8%, moderate) and earnings growth (-9.8%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 76.3% and approximately 88.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 11.42% supports management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
CODI generates approximately $385 of gross profit, $23 of operating income, and $-27 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Negative free cash flow explains the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 22.94%

Quantitative Style Profile

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