Upturn Advisory & Investor View for NOAH

11/06/2026: NOAH (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Noah Holdings Ltd is a prominent independent wealth and asset manager focusing on high-net-worth clients primarily within China. The firm has a long history of success, benefiting from a well-known brand and a sophisticated platform for proprietary investments. Its primary growth opportunity lies in its global expansion and the professionalization of family office services. However, investors must navigate significant risks, including tightening regulatory environments and fierce competition from large, state-owned banks. The company is best suited for those who understand the nuances of the Chinese financial landscape and are comfortable with the inherent volatility of a shifting, regulation-sensitive business model.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
NOAH has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+17.5%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 32.3%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+0.4%), very low insider ownership of 0.59%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
NOAH's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 42.0%). Overall financial-health metrics support a 4-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is NOAH's strongest growth driver at +176.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+17.5%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+0.4%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 38.4% (moderate) and 43.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (moderate). Insider ownership is only 0.59%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Fidelity International Ltd 9.81%
Yiheng Capital LLC 9.79%
Franklin Templeton Inc 2.94%
Tiger Pacific Capital LP 2.74%
BlackRock Inc 1.76%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
NOAH generates approximately $534 of gross profit, $298 of operating income, and $323 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 soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 34.83%

Quantitative Style Profile

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