Upturn Advisory & Investor View for LINK

10/15/2026: LINK (1-star) is a SELL. SELL for 2 days. Simulated Profits (-18.18%). Updated daily EoD!

Interlink Electronics is a specialized manufacturer focused on force-sensing resistor technology and human-machine interface (HMI) solutions. The company's primary strength lies in its proprietary sensing IP and engineering capabilities, which enable custom applications in medical and industrial markets. Investors are attracted to its potential in automation and haptic-feedback trends, though the company faces risks related to market concentration, competition from larger component firms, and the potential adoption of competing sensing technologies. As a smaller, R&D-heavy company, it is generally better suited for investors with a higher tolerance for volatility, and those interested in monitoring long-term industrial design wins.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
LINK receives a 2-star rating, reflecting soft or weak scores across the available pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
LINK has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+18.6%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -1.4%), moderate revenue growth (+1.8%), weak profitability (net margin -13.6%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
LINK's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 39.5%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is LINK's strongest growth driver at +69.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+18.6%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+1.8%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 2.0% (soft) and 36.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (moderate). Insider ownership of 77.53% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
LINK generates approximately $313 of gross profit, $-154 of operating income, and $-14 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 10.58%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
LINK has a High Volatility Profile profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while soft valuation.
