Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
GEOS receives a 3-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
GEOS has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-47.8%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -27.3%), negative revenue growth (-18.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
GEOS's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 41.9%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
GEOS's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -18.3% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-47.8%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-133.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 40.3% and approximately 97.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.13% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.46%
SEI Investments Co 3.18%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 3.03%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
GEOS generates approximately $297 of gross profit, $-102 of operating income, and $-273 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: -4.16% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
GEOS has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
