Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

PARA receives a 2-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

PARA has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, moderate growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+28.6%) and strong revenue growth (+168.6%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -129.2%), soft profitability (net margin -184.9%), modest insider ownership of 2.13%.

Financial Health Rating

PARA's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 233.8% of revenue). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is PARA's strongest growth driver at +168.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+28.6%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-64.0%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 3.0% and approximately 98.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.13% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Geode Capital Management, LLC 0.26%
Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Co 0.18%
UBS Group AG 0.11%
Global Retirement Partners, LLC. 0.03%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

PARA generates approximately $820 of gross profit, $-1,518 of operating income, and $-1,292 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: -0.27% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

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