Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

NTB has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+7.2%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 31.9%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (-2.0%), modest insider ownership of 1.36%.

Financial Health Rating

NTB's financial health is supported by solid profitability, including gross margin of 75.9% and operating margin of 29.8%. Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is NTB's strongest growth driver at +7.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-2.0%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 74.3% and approximately 98.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.36% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Financial Gravity Companies Inc 0.00%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

NTB generates approximately $759 of gross profit, $298 of operating income, and $319 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: 2.52%

Quantitative Style Profile

NTB has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
