Upturn Advisory & Investor View for OBK

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
OBK has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 25.2%) and solid profitability (net margin 12.6%) are partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-1.7%), slightly negative revenue growth (-3.0%), modest insider ownership of 4.12%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
OBK's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (25.2% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is OBK's strongest growth driver at +74.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-3.0%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (-1.7%, slightly negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 70.5% and approximately 93.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.12% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.38%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 4.81%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.23%
State Street Corp 3.65%
Silvercrest Asset Management Group LLC 3.39%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
OBK generates approximately $582 of gross profit, $165 of operating income, and $252 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Solid margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 21.38%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
OBK has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
