Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
SNA has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 19.5%) and solid profitability (net margin 19.7%) are partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-2.6%), moderate revenue growth (+0.9%), modest insider ownership of 2.42%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
SNA's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.0B (19.5% of revenue). Operating efficiency is solid (4 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is SNA's strongest growth driver at +0.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-2.6%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-11.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 99.5% and approximately 97.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.42% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.24%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.54%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.18%
State Street Corp 4.56%
First Trust Advisors L.P. 4.00%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
SNA generates approximately $517 of gross profit, $258 of operating income, and $195 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Solid margins and solid cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains solid.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 21.98%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
SNA has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
