The company benefits from a stable core deposit base and a well-established local brand, which allows it to maintain consistent performance within its regional market.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
EBMT receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
EBMT has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+51.7%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 22.5%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+4.6%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
EBMT's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (22.5% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is EBMT's strongest growth driver at +96.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+51.7%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+4.6%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 55.5% and approximately 90.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 6.42% supports management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 6.25%
Manufacturers Life Insurance Co 5.00%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.39%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 3.49%
Geode Capital Management, LLC 2.17%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
EBMT generates approximately $709 of gross profit, $150 of operating income, and $225 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 21.48%

Quantitative Style Profile

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