Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

PDLB receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

PDLB has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+161.6%) supports the fundamentals score.

Financial Health Rating

PDLB's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (28.1% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is PDLB's strongest growth driver at +1115.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+16.1%, solid) and earnings growth (+161.6%, strong) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 48.7% and approximately 79.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 18.19% supports management-shareholder alignment.
