Upturn Advisory & Investor View for EVH

09/25/2026: EVH (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Evolent Health is a technology-enabled services company focused on helping healthcare payers and providers succeed in value-based care models. Its primary strengths lie in managing high-cost specialty care segments, such as oncology, and providing data-driven coordination through its Identifi platform. While the company has achieved notable growth through acquisitions, it faces risks related to client concentration, operational integration, and stiff competition from large, integrated insurers. It is best suited for growth-oriented investors who are comfortable with volatility and the complex execution requirements of the value-based care sector. Key developments to monitor include contract renewal rates and progress in automating payment integrity.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
EVH 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 (-767.4%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.3%), negative revenue growth (-26.6%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
EVH's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 15.4% of revenue). Profitability is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is EVH's strongest growth driver at +177.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-26.6%, negative) and earnings growth (-767.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 101.9% and approximately 83.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.10% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 8.03%
UBS Group AG 7.21%
Rubicon Founders LLC 5.14%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
EVH generates approximately $151 of gross profit, $-2 of operating income, and $3 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: 0.02%

Quantitative Style Profile

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