Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
OBDC has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with strong financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+5.5%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 103.7%) are partially offset by very low insider ownership of 0.27%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
OBDC's financial health is supported by strong profitability, including gross margin of 75.3% and operating margin of 73.2%. Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 5-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is OBDC's strongest growth driver at +987.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+52.6%, strong) is also strong, while earnings growth (+5.5%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 56.5% and approximately 0.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.27%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

State of New Jersey Common Pension Fd A 3.10%
Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund 2.95%
FMR Inc 2.40%
Van Eck Associates Corporation 2.30%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
OBDC generates approximately $753 of gross profit, $732 of operating income, and $1,037 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: 2.35%

Quantitative Style Profile

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