Upturn Advisory & Investor View for SHPH

09/25/2026: SHPH (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Shuttle Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing novel radiation sensitizers to improve cancer treatment outcomes. Its primary strength lies in its specialized academic foundation and targeted R&D approach toward radiation oncology. The company's main investment story rests on the potential success of its clinical-stage pipeline, which offers high growth prospects. However, it faces significant risks including the lack of commercial revenue, high clinical failure potential, and competition from better-resourced oncology firms. This stock is best suited for growth-oriented investors with a high risk tolerance who are willing to monitor clinical development updates, regulatory filings, and the company's ability to maintain sufficient cash reserves.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
SHPH receives a 2-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft company fundamentals, and soft quantitative characteristics.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
SHPH has soft overall fundamentals (2 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-28.2%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.0%), slightly negative revenue growth (+0.0%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
SHPH'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

★★★★★
SHPH's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at +0.0% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-28.2%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-29.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 1.9% and approximately 810.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.84%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
SHPH 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

★★★★★
SHPH has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
