Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

KODK receives a 3-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

KODK has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 41.7%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-225.5%), moderate revenue growth (+2.5%), soft profitability (net margin -12.0%).

Financial Health Rating

KODK's financial health is supported by strong liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 34.6%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is KODK's strongest growth driver at +807.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+2.5%, moderate) and earnings growth (-225.5%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 42.9% and approximately 73.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 35.58% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 2.19%
State Street Corp 2.06%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

KODK generates approximately $217 of gross profit, $-120 of operating income, and $417 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: -14.29% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

KODK has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
