Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
PD receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
PD has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+506.8%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 22.7%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+5.4%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
PD's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 31.1%). Operating efficiency is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is PD's strongest growth driver at +506.8% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+5.4%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (+3.2%, moderate) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 98.1% and approximately 90.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 9.09% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
PD generates approximately $849 of gross profit, $12 of operating income, and $227 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Solid margins and moderate cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is moderate.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -756.48% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
PD has a liquid profile. Valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted is the primary drawback.
