Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

LCNB has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+71.4%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 26.9%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (-0.9%).

Financial Health Rating

LCNB's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (26.9% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is LCNB's strongest growth driver at +71.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-0.9%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-62.6%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 51.5% and approximately 94.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 5.67% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

LCNB generates approximately $723 of gross profit, $227 of operating income, and $269 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: 17.87%

Quantitative Style Profile

LCNB has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
