Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

NWSA receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

NWSA has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.9%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-51.4%), moderate revenue growth (+6.8%), soft profitability (net margin 6.3%).

Financial Health Rating

NWSA's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (8.9% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is NWSA's strongest growth driver at +10.7% FY2026 versus FY2025 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-51.4%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 108.5% and approximately 150.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.03%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

State Street Corp 6.96%
Independent Franchise Partners LLP 5.75%
BlackRock Inc 5.36%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.69%
Barclays PLC 3.26%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

NWSA generates approximately $569 of gross profit, $114 of operating income, and $89 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 28.97%

Quantitative Style Profile

NWSA has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
