Freedom Holding Corp. is an international, U.S.-listed diversified financial services company that operates primarily in Central Asia and Europe through an integrated digital ecosystem. The company is known for its rapidly growing brokerage, banking, and insurance services, all unified by its popular Freedom SuperApp. Its main growth story is the scaling of this digital platform into new international markets, such as Turkey. However, the company faces significant risks related to regional geopolitical instability, regulatory oversight, and intense competition from financial incumbents. The stock is a growth-oriented play that suits investors comfortable with high volatility and emerging market exposure, while income-focused investors may find the lack of dividends unappealing.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
FRHC receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft analyst coverage, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
FRHC has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+81.1%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -1.7%), moderate revenue growth (+7.8%), soft profitability (net margin 7.0%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
FRHC's financial health is supported by solid efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 39.5% of revenue). Cash strength is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is FRHC's strongest growth driver at +81.1% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+7.8%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (-102.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 3.5% (soft) and 32.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (moderate). Insider ownership of 67.80% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
FRHC generates approximately $722 of gross profit, $326 of operating income, and $-17 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Weak margins and weak cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is solid.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 32.15%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
FRHC has a large-cap, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
