Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
MTB has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+10.2%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 23.2%) are partially offset by negative revenue growth (-8.2%), very low insider ownership of 0.32%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
MTB's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $2.9B (23.2% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is MTB's strongest growth driver at +10.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-8.2%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-15.7%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 92.8% and approximately 99.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.32%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.94%
FMR Inc 8.64%
Wellington Management Company LLP 6.82%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.66%
State Street Corp 4.95%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
MTB generates approximately $746 of gross profit, $300 of operating income, and $232 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains moderate.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 22.78%

Quantitative Style Profile

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