Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

DXPE has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+25.8%) and solid revenue growth (+11.9%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 2.7%), soft profitability (net margin 4.4%).

Financial Health Rating

DXPE's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 37.9%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is DXPE's strongest growth driver at +25.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+11.9%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-30.0%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 77.1% and approximately 82.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 17.70% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

DXPE generates approximately $315 of gross profit, $88 of operating income, and $27 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: 25.62%

Quantitative Style Profile

DXPE has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
