Upturn Advisory & Investor View for OLLI

09/25/2026: OLLI (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Ollie's Bargain Outlet is a U.S.-based extreme-value retailer that focuses on selling brand-name closeout merchandise. The company has a strong, proven business model driven by a popular 'treasure hunt' shopping experience and a growing loyalty program. Its primary growth opportunity lies in its disciplined, long-term plan to expand its store footprint across new territories. However, the company faces risks from intense competition in the discount space and potential volatility in sourcing excess inventory. The stock is best suited for growth-oriented investors who are comfortable with retail-sector risks and want to monitor the company's ability to maintain margins while scaling its national presence.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
OLLI receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
OLLI has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, solid earnings growth (+20.4%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 7.3%) are partially offset by soft profitability (net margin 9.1%), very low insider ownership of 0.34%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
OLLI's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (7.3% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is OLLI's strongest growth driver at +82.1% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+16.6%, solid) and earnings growth (+20.4%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 122.3% and approximately 99.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.34%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

FMR Inc 11.39%
BlackRock Inc 9.44%
Wasatch Advisors LP 7.34%
Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management LLC 5.54%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.64%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
OLLI generates approximately $390 of gross profit, $122 of operating income, and $73 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: 23.95%

Quantitative Style Profile

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