Upturn Advisory & Investor View for Q

11/13/2026: Q (4-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Qnity Electronics, Inc is a specialized producer of electronic sensors and integrated circuits for the industrial and automotive sectors. The company is known for its proprietary signal processing technology, which helps it maintain a foothold in competitive markets. Its primary growth opportunity lies in the expanding demand for electric vehicle power management components. However, the company faces significant execution and competition risks from larger, well-capitalized semiconductor peers and potential supply chain bottlenecks. Investors who prioritize steady growth over dividends and can tolerate cyclical automotive exposure may find this stock a suitable addition, though performance will depend on continued successful product innovation.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
Q 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

★★★★★
Q has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 20.8%) and solid profitability (net margin 14.6%) are partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-0.1%), moderate revenue growth (+9.7%), very low insider ownership of 0.09%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
Q's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (20.8% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is Q's strongest growth driver at +14.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-0.1%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 77.7% and approximately 99.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.09%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 7.68%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.54%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 4.88%
State Street Corp 4.48%
Geode Capital Management, LLC 2.67%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
Q generates approximately $418 of gross profit, $213 of operating income, and $208 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Solid margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 24.22%

Quantitative Style Profile

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