Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

INSW receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

INSW has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, soft growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong profitability (net margin 36.7%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-25.8%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 4.5%), negative revenue growth (-11.4%).

Financial Health Rating

INSW's financial health is supported by solid profitability, including gross margin of 42.3% and operating margin of 36.3%. Overall financial-health metrics support a 4-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

INSW's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -11.4% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-25.8%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-85.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 84.8% and approximately 83.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 16.23% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

INSW generates approximately $423 of gross profit, $363 of operating income, and $45 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: -0.13% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

INSW has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. No single quantitative factor dominates as a drawback.
