Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
GLPI receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
GLPI has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with strong financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+5.2%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 51.7%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+4.1%), modest insider ownership of 4.01%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
GLPI's financial health is supported by strong profitability, including gross margin of 62.1% and operating margin of 75.3%. Liquidity is solid (4 stars), which helps explain the 5-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is GLPI's strongest growth driver at +5.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-20.1%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 97.2% and approximately 95.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.01% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 12.14%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 8.26%
Dodge & Cox 4.73%
State Street Corp 4.53%
Wellington Management Company LLP 4.29%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
GLPI generates approximately $621 of gross profit, $753 of operating income, and $517 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: 0.26%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
GLPI has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
