Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

DORM receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

DORM has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+7.5%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 3.6%), moderate revenue growth (+6.0%), soft profitability (net margin 9.6%).

Financial Health Rating

DORM's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 41.3%). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is DORM's strongest growth driver at +7.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-60.5%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 99.3% and approximately 88.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 12.87% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 13.51%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.07%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 4.77%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.17%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 3.83%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

DORM generates approximately $411 of gross profit, $168 of operating income, and $36 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: 25.87%

Quantitative Style Profile

DORM has a high-quality, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
