Upturn Advisory & Investor View for NCRA

11/05/2026: NCRA (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Nocera Inc is a small-cap agricultural technology company focused on developing sustainable, land-based aquaculture systems. The company's primary strength lies in its proprietary recirculating aquaculture technology, which aims to address environmental and food security concerns. Its main growth story is the potential for scaling these modular systems globally as the shift toward land-based farming accelerates. Key risks include significant competition from established seafood industry players, operational execution challenges in project deployments, and financial volatility typical of early-stage growth companies. Nocera may suit investors with a high risk tolerance interested in sustainable food technologies; shareholders should closely monitor project contract wins and regional market expansion progress.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
NCRA receives a 2-star rating, reflecting soft or weak scores across the available pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft company fundamentals, and soft analyst coverage.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
NCRA has soft overall fundamentals (2 stars), with soft financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-20.5%), weak cash generation (FCF margin -23.4%), negative revenue growth (-35.2%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
NCRA's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 75.0%). Profitability is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
NCRA's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being earnings growth at -20.5% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while revenue growth (-35.2%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-64.1%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 2.7% and approximately 74.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 17.55% supports management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
NCRA generates approximately $15 of gross profit, $-223 of operating income, and $-234 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: -11.16% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
NCRA has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
