Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

FCF has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+6.8%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 23.5%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+4.3%), modest insider ownership of 1.62%.

Financial Health Rating

FCF's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (23.5% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is FCF's strongest growth driver at +50.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+4.3%, moderate) and earnings growth (+6.8%, moderate) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 80.4% and approximately 97.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.62% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 14.57%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 6.37%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 6.16%
State Street Corp 4.87%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.37%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

FCF generates approximately $676 of gross profit, $272 of operating income, and $235 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: 20.41%

Quantitative Style Profile

FCF has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
