Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

GIW receives a 2-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

GIW has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. Growth and ownership metrics are mixed: slightly negative earnings growth (+0.0%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.0%), slightly negative revenue growth (+0.0%).

Financial Health Rating

GIW's financial health is supported by strong efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 0.0% of revenue). Profitability is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

GIW's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at +0.0% year over year. By comparison, while earnings growth (+0.0%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (+0.0%, slightly negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 100.0% and approximately 78.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.18%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Cnh Partners, LLC 4.64%
Tenor Capital Management Co Lp 4.11%
Westchester Capital Management LLC 3.65%
Berkley W R Corp 3.54%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

GIW generates approximately $0 of gross profit, $-0 of operating income, and $0 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: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

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