Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
FBIN has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.2%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-36.7%), slightly negative revenue growth (-3.2%), soft profitability (net margin 6.7%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
FBIN's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (8.2% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
FBIN's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -3.2% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-36.7%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-22.7%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 108.8% and approximately 99.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.53%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
FBIN generates approximately $446 of gross profit, $139 of operating income, and $82 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Moderate margins and solid cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 26.22%

Quantitative Style Profile

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