Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

GRFS receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

GRFS has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+146.1%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 10.4%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+0.2%), soft profitability (net margin 5.3%), very low insider ownership of 0.00%.

Financial Health Rating

GRFS's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (10.4% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is GRFS's strongest growth driver at +146.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+41.5%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+0.2%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 57.1% and approximately 323.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Brandes Investment Partners & Co 5.56%
Capital World Investors 3.37%
Permian Investment Partners 2.90%
Black Creek Investment Management Inc 1.23%
Millennium Management LLC 0.64%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

GRFS generates approximately $357 of gross profit, $164 of operating income, and $104 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: 18.70%

Quantitative Style Profile

GRFS has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
