Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
KSPI receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
KSPI has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 12.5%) and strong revenue growth (+56.1%) are partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-0.1%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
KSPI's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $491.1B (12.5% of revenue). Operating efficiency is solid (4 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is KSPI's strongest growth driver at +56.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-0.1%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (+1.0%, moderate) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 47.5% and approximately 54.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 20.38% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
KSPI generates approximately $735 of gross profit, $329 of operating income, and $125 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 19.84%

Quantitative Style Profile

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