Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
RF has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+13.9%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 22.4%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+2.5%), very low insider ownership of 0.29%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
RF's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $2.2B (22.4% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is RF's strongest growth driver at +48.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+13.9%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+2.5%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 87.6% and approximately 99.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.29%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 9.57%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.56%
State Street Corp 5.96%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 4.69%
Charles Schwab Investment Management Inc 3.27%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
RF generates approximately $746 of gross profit, $285 of operating income, and $224 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains solid.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 21.40%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
RF has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
