Upturn Advisory & Investor View for GTX

10/09/2026: GTX (5-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Garrett Motion is a specialized global provider of turbocharging and electric boosting systems for the automotive industry. The company is noted for its engineering expertise and strong relationships with large vehicle manufacturers, which support its stable core business. Its primary growth story involves transitioning from traditional internal combustion engines toward hybrid vehicle technology and hydrogen fuel cell compressors. However, the company faces risks from the rapid adoption of pure battery electric vehicles and global automotive production volatility. Garrett Motion may best suit value-oriented investors who monitor the company's successful integration of new electrified product lines and its disciplined financial management through debt reduction.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
GTX has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+9.9%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 9.5%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+3.1%), soft profitability (net margin 8.6%), modest insider ownership of 1.05%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
GTX's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (9.5% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is GTX's strongest growth driver at +9.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). Revenue growth (+3.1%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (+7.6%, moderate) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 100.5% and approximately 98.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.05% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
GTX generates approximately $245 of gross profit, $138 of operating income, and $95 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Soft margins and solid cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is strong.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 20.92%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
GTX has a high-quality, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
