Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CSTE

11/06/2026: CSTE (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Caesarstone Ltd is a global manufacturer of premium engineered quartz and surfacing materials, primarily serving the kitchen and interior design markets. While the company holds a well-recognized brand and has historically maintained strong design influence, it faces significant cyclical pressure from housing market fluctuations. Its primary investment story centers on its pivot to a multi-material product strategy and operational restructuring to improve margins. Key risks include intense competition from lower-cost imports, silica-related regulatory concerns, and high sensitivity to home renovation demand. The stock may suit value-oriented investors willing to wait for a cyclical recovery, provided they monitor the company's progress on cost-efficiency and product diversification.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CSTE receives a 2-star rating, reflecting soft or weak scores across the available pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CSTE has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-220.9%), weak cash generation (FCF margin -11.4%), negative revenue growth (-10.4%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CSTE's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 28.8%). Profitability is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
CSTE's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -10.4% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-220.9%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-310.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 15.6% and approximately 55.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 33.99% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CSTE generates approximately $184 of gross profit, $-129 of operating income, and $-114 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -3.21% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CSTE has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
