Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

RFL receives a 2-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

RFL has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+11.3%) and strong revenue growth (+44.0%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -2064.1%), soft profitability (net margin -3328.2%).

Financial Health Rating

RFL's financial health is supported by soft liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 0.0%). Overall financial-health metrics support a 2-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is RFL's strongest growth driver at +44.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+11.3%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-137.2%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 8.1% and approximately 62.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 38.23% supports management-shareholder alignment.

RFL generates approximately $540 of gross profit, $-28,472 of operating income, and $-20,641 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: 7.69%

Quantitative Style Profile

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