Upturn Advisory & Investor View for PULM

10/09/2026: PULM (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Pulmatrix Inc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing specialized inhaled therapies for respiratory conditions using its iSPERSE platform. The company's primary strength lies in this unique drug delivery technology, which aims to improve the treatment of orphan lung diseases. Its growth story centers on the successful clinical advancement and potential licensing of its pipeline candidates. However, the company faces significant risks, including the inherent uncertainty of clinical trials, ongoing capital needs, and competition from large pharmaceutical incumbents. This stock is best suited for high-risk, long-term biotech investors who monitor clinical trial readouts and capital efficiency closely.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
PULM receives a 2-star rating, reflecting soft or weak scores across the available pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
PULM has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+46.0%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.0%), negative revenue growth (-100.0%), soft profitability (net margin 0.0%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
PULM's financial health is supported by strong efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 0.0% of revenue). Profitability is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is PULM's strongest growth driver at +51.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+46.0%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (-100.0%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 9.2% (soft) and 100.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership is only 0.78%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Renaissance Technologies Corp 3.36%
BlackRock Inc 1.50%
Geode Capital Management, LLC 0.91%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 0.88%
SBI Securities Co Ltd 0.86%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
PULM generates approximately $-0 of gross profit, $-0 of operating income, and $-0 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Weak margins explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and strong capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
PULM has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
