Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

FSK receives a 3-star rating, supported by strong unit economics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

FSK has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with solid financial health, soft growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 50.6%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-98.1%), moderate revenue growth (+5.5%), soft profitability (net margin 0.9%).

Financial Health Rating

FSK's financial health is supported by solid efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 20.1% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is FSK's strongest growth driver at +5.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-98.1%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-68.9%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 42.0% and approximately 0.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.19%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Oak Hill Advisors LP 4.12%
UBS Group AG 2.10%
Victory Capital Management Inc. 1.82%
Van Eck Associates Corporation 1.72%
LPL Financial Corp 1.59%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

FSK generates approximately $696 of gross profit, $495 of operating income, and $506 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: 52.17%

Quantitative Style Profile

FSK has a Value-Oriented profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
