Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

MOV receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

MOV has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+44.6%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.0%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+2.7%), soft profitability (net margin 4.0%), modest insider ownership of 4.17%.

Financial Health Rating

MOV's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 54.4%). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is MOV's strongest growth driver at +657.6% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+44.6%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+2.7%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 96.1% and approximately 98.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.17% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 3.94%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 2.95%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

MOV generates approximately $542 of gross profit, $44 of operating income, and $80 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 21.79%

Quantitative Style Profile

MOV has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
