Upturn Advisory & Investor View for PH

10/09/2026: PH (2-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Parker-Hannifin is a leading global provider of precision-engineered motion and control technologies, serving diverse industrial and aerospace sectors. The company is well-regarded for its operational 'Win Strategy' and history of consistent margin improvement through disciplined management and strategic acquisitions. Its primary growth story centers on increasing aerospace demand and the ongoing automation of industrial processes. Key risks include exposure to cyclical manufacturing downturns and the execution challenges inherent in integrating large-scale acquisitions. The stock may suit investors seeking a stable, dividend-paying industrial component with long-term growth potential and should monitor upcoming quarterly results for signs of aerospace volume strength.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
PH has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, moderate earnings growth (+3.3%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 18.2%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+8.3%), very low insider ownership of 0.18%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
PH's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $3.9B (18.2% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is PH's strongest growth driver at +16.9% FY2026 versus FY2025 (solid, 4 stars). Revenue growth (+8.3%, moderate) and earnings growth (+3.3%, moderate) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 90.5% and approximately 99.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.18%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

★★★★★
PH generates approximately $377 of gross profit, $216 of operating income, and $182 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Solid margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains solid.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 20.03%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
PH has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
