Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

LAES has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, moderate growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong revenue growth (+46.4%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-42.0%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -178.1%), soft profitability (net margin -187.3%).

Financial Health Rating

LAES's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 83.6%). Operating efficiency is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is LAES's strongest growth driver at +46.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-42.0%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-176.0%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 6.7% and approximately 96.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.69% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Susquehanna International Group, LLP 0.59%
Two Sigma Investments LLC 0.49%
Kessler Investment Group, LLC 0.43%
UBS Group AG 0.42%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

LAES generates approximately $473 of gross profit, $-2,181 of operating income, and $-1,781 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: 0.47%

Quantitative Style Profile

LAES has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
