Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
NMAI receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
NMAI has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and soft ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+127.2%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 11.7%) are partially offset by very low insider ownership of 0.00%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
NMAI's financial health is supported by strong profitability, including gross margin of 91.6% and operating margin of 124.0%. Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is NMAI's strongest growth driver at +137.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+127.2%, strong) is also strong, while free-cash-flow growth (-69.8%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 17.4% (soft) and 0.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (soft). Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
NMAI generates approximately $916 of gross profit, $1,240 of operating income, and $117 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and soft cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains moderate.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
NMAI has a relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
