Upturn Advisory & Investor View for OC

09/25/2026: OC (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Owens Corning Inc is a leading provider of insulation, roofing, and composite materials, primarily serving the residential construction and industrial sectors. The company is known for its strong brand equity and extensive distribution network, which provide a solid foundation for its recurring revenue streams. Its primary growth story revolves around strategic diversification, such as its recent entry into door systems, and capitalizing on the global demand for energy-efficient materials. However, investors must monitor cyclical risks related to housing starts and raw material price volatility. The stock may suit value-oriented and dividend-seeking investors who can tolerate the inherent volatility of the building products industry.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
OC receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
OC has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 9.5%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-180.7%), negative revenue growth (-7.9%), soft profitability (net margin -5.2%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
OC's financial health is supported by moderate cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (9.5% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
OC's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -7.9% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-180.7%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-22.7%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 111.0% and approximately 99.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.11% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 11.65%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 6.97%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.58%
State Street Corp 3.88%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 3.73%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
OC generates approximately $285 of gross profit, $170 of operating income, and $95 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: 279.05%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
OC has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
