Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
FTAI receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
FTAI has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, strong growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+5671.3%) and strong revenue growth (+43.2%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -42.4%), modest insider ownership of 1.14%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
FTAI's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 39.2%). Cash strength is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is FTAI's strongest growth driver at +5671.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+43.2%, strong) and free-cash-flow growth (+20.9%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 98.9% and approximately 98.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.14% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 17.41%
