Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
SBCF receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
SBCF has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+19.7%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 20.6%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+7.5%), modest insider ownership of 1.32%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
SBCF's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (20.6% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is SBCF's strongest growth driver at +19.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). Revenue growth (+7.5%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (+1.7%, moderate) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 93.7% and approximately 97.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.32% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
SBCF generates approximately $616 of gross profit, $214 of operating income, and $206 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 weak.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 22.32%

Quantitative Style Profile
