Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

★★★★★
OPY has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, strong growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+107.4%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 11.2%) are partially offset by soft profitability (net margin 9.1%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
OPY's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 68.5%). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is OPY's strongest growth driver at +262.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+14.4%, solid) and earnings growth (+107.4%, strong) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
