Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

RCKT receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

RCKT has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+13.8%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.0%), slightly negative revenue growth (+0.0%), soft profitability (net margin 0.0%).

Financial Health Rating

RCKT'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

Earnings growth is RCKT's strongest growth driver at +13.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+11.7%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+0.0%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 91.6% and approximately 79.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.24% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

State Street Corp 4.09%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

RCKT 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. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

RCKT has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
