Upturn Advisory & Investor View for OM

10/09/2026: OM (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Outset Medical is a medical technology company specializing in the Tablo Hemodialysis System, designed to simplify dialysis for both clinical and home settings. The company's primary strength lies in the portability and user-friendly design of its platform, which addresses key pain points in traditional, complex dialysis care. The major growth opportunity involves expanding its footprint in the under-penetrated home hemodialysis market. However, Outset faces significant risks, including intense competition from large established players, ongoing execution challenges, and the need to achieve sustained profitability. This stock is best suited for growth-oriented investors who can tolerate high volatility while monitoring the company's ability to scale operations and improve margins.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
OM receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
OM has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with soft financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+36.2%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -39.4%), moderate revenue growth (+5.1%), weak profitability (net margin -68.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
OM's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 80.6%). Operating efficiency is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is OM's strongest growth driver at +59.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+36.2%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+5.1%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 75.2% and approximately 78.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 5.46% supports management-shareholder alignment.

AQR Capital Management LLC 5.31%
Perceptive Advisors LLC 4.43%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.15%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
OM generates approximately $391 of gross profit, $-558 of operating income, and $-394 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -0.89% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

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