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

★★★★★

Economic Dimensions
