Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
IH receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
IH has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and soft ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 5.6%) and solid profitability (net margin 11.8%) are partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-3.2%), negative revenue growth (-12.5%), very low insider ownership of 0.04%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
IH's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 68.2%). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
IH's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being earnings growth at -3.2% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while revenue growth (-12.5%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-11.6%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 0.6% (soft) and 63.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (solid). Insider ownership is only 0.04%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Citadel Advisors Llc 0.06%
Susquehanna International Group, LLP 0.03%
Acadian Asset Management LLC 0.03%
The Goldman Sachs Group Inc 0.02%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
IH generates approximately $679 of gross profit, $83 of operating income, and $56 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Moderate margins explain the 2-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 6.27%

Quantitative Style Profile

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