Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

COO receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

COO has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 10.6%) is partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-4.4%), moderate revenue growth (+5.1%), soft profitability (net margin 9.2%).

Financial Health Rating

COO's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (10.6% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is COO's strongest growth driver at +50.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+5.1%, moderate) and earnings growth (-4.4%, slightly negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 111.9% and approximately 99.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.63%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.74%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.69%
T. Rowe Price Investment Management,Inc. 4.77%
State Street Corp 4.61%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 4.59%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

COO generates approximately $607 of gross profit, $167 of operating income, and $106 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: 33.82%

Quantitative Style Profile

COO has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
