Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CSTE

10/08/2026: CSTE (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Caesarstone Ltd is a global manufacturer of premium engineered stone and porcelain surfaces used primarily for kitchen and bath renovations. The company has a leading position in the designer-focused market and maintains strong brand equity, although its business is inherently cyclical and sensitive to residential housing activity. Its primary growth opportunity lies in diversifying its product portfolio into porcelain and optimizing manufacturing efficiency to improve margins. However, the company faces significant risks from increased regulatory scrutiny, rising raw material costs, and intense competition from lower-cost manufacturers. Caesarstone may suit value-oriented investors interested in a cyclical recovery, though they should closely monitor macroeconomic trends and company progress in operational restructuring.

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 16.2% and approximately 59.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 34.00% 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.
