Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

SLAB receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

SLAB has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, strong growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+66.0%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.4%) are partially offset by soft profitability (net margin -8.3%), modest insider ownership of 1.61%.

Financial Health Rating

SLAB's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 41.8%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is SLAB's strongest growth driver at +356.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+34.3%, solid) and earnings growth (+66.0%, strong) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 94.0% and approximately 98.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.61% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

SLAB generates approximately $582 of gross profit, $-90 of operating income, and $84 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: -12.08% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

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