Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
EPD receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
EPD has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 5.6%) and solid profitability (net margin 11.1%) are partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-1.5%), negative revenue growth (-6.4%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
EPD's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $3.0B (5.6% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
EPD's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being earnings growth at -1.5% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while revenue growth (-6.4%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-17.0%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 25.6% and approximately 66.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 33.05% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Amvescap Plc. 1.23%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 0.99%
Blackstone Inc 0.98%
The Goldman Sachs Group Inc 0.93%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
EPD generates approximately $136 of gross profit, $131 of operating income, and $56 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: 0.39%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
EPD has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
