Upturn Advisory & Investor View for IDT

11/13/2026: IDT (4-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 147 days. Simulated Profits (59.67%). Updated daily EoD!

IDT Corporation is a diversified company that has evolved from a traditional telecom carrier into a provider of digital fintech and cloud communication services. The company's strengths lie in its stable cash-generating legacy assets, which support its growing investments in remittances and retail point-of-sale systems. Its primary growth opportunity centers on scaling the NRS advertising network and expanding its mobile-first financial service offerings. However, the company faces significant risks, including intense competition in the fintech sector and the steady decline of its legacy retail business. The stock may suit value-oriented investors who recognize the potential in its evolving business segments, though execution risk remains a key development to monitor.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
IDT receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
IDT has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, solid earnings growth (+13.8%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 5.2%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+5.4%), soft profitability (net margin 6.7%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
IDT's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 39.7%). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is IDT's strongest growth driver at +13.8% FY2026 versus FY2025 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-36.1%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 64.2% and approximately 87.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 12.49% supports management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 7.74%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.57%
Renaissance Technologies Corp 3.54%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 3.15%
Geode Capital Management, LLC 2.63%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
IDT generates approximately $383 of gross profit, $94 of operating income, and $52 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Soft margins and soft cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is strong.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 26.84%

Quantitative Style Profile

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