Upturn Advisory & Investor View for JAZZ

10/06/2026: JAZZ (5-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals is a mid-sized biopharmaceutical company focusing on high-unmet-need areas in neuroscience and oncology. Its main strengths include a specialized, high-margin portfolio with key products like Xywav and Epidiolex, and a consistent history of using M&A to grow its pipeline. The primary growth opportunity lies in label expansions for existing therapies and successful advancement of its oncology candidates. Risks include significant revenue concentration in legacy products, potential patent litigation, and the burden of debt incurred from acquisitions. It is generally best suited for growth-oriented investors who can tolerate the volatility associated with drug development, clinical trial outcomes, and ongoing M&A-driven strategy.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
JAZZ has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 26.9%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-163.6%), moderate revenue growth (+4.9%), weak profitability (net margin -8.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
JAZZ's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 16.5%). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is JAZZ's strongest growth driver at +4.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-163.6%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-15.0%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 102.4% and approximately 97.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.92% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 9.19%
FMR Inc 7.10%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 4.68%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.21%
Capital World Investors 4.16%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
JAZZ generates approximately $882 of gross profit, $53 of operating income, and $269 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Solid margins and weak cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is weak.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 43.34%

Quantitative Style Profile

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