Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

GFF receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

GFF has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 12.0%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-75.6%), slightly negative revenue growth (-3.9%), soft profitability (net margin 2.0%).

Financial Health Rating

GFF's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (12.0% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

GFF's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being free-cash-flow growth at -1.7% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while revenue growth (-3.9%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (-75.6%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 82.0% and approximately 93.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 18.26% supports management-shareholder alignment.

State Street Corp 3.31%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

GFF generates approximately $420 of gross profit, $82 of operating income, and $120 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: 59.87%

Quantitative Style Profile

GFF has a high-quality, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
