Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

MTW receives a 2-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

MTW has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-87.1%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -0.7%), moderate revenue growth (+2.9%).

Financial Health Rating

MTW's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 33.3%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is MTW's strongest growth driver at +2.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-87.1%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-537.1%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 82.4% and approximately 92.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.81% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 5.38%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

MTW generates approximately $181 of gross profit, $26 of operating income, and $-7 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: 41.94%

Quantitative Style Profile

MTW has a liquid profile. Elevated volatility is the primary drawback.
