Upturn Advisory & Investor View for KIDS

09/25/2026: KIDS (2-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

OrthoPediatrics Corp. is a specialized medical device company focused entirely on the pediatric orthopedic market, offering a broad range of implants and surgical systems. Its main strength lies in its niche focus and a dedicated sales force that creates strong relationships with pediatric surgeons. The company's primary growth opportunity is the continued penetration of international markets and the integration of advanced technologies, such as non-fusion spinal systems. Key risks include intense competition from larger medical device incumbents, high operational costs, and potential changes in healthcare reimbursement. It best suits growth investors who are willing to accept volatility in exchange for potential long-term, market-focused growth.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
KIDS receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
KIDS has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid revenue growth (+15.4%) is partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-4.8%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -6.8%), soft profitability (net margin -16.8%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
KIDS's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 41.3%). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is KIDS's strongest growth driver at +61.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+15.4%, solid) is also solid, while earnings growth (-4.8%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 65.9% and approximately 69.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 29.70% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Brown Advisory Holdings Inc 5.81%
BlackRock Inc 4.50%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 4.37%
BRAIDWELL LP 4.21%
Granahan Investment Management Inc.. 3.43%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
KIDS generates approximately $731 of gross profit, $-123 of operating income, and $-68 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: -1.17% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
KIDS has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
