Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
STVN has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+14.0%) and solid profitability (net margin 11.8%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 1.9%), moderate revenue growth (+3.2%), modest insider ownership of 1.64%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
STVN's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (1.9% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is STVN's strongest growth driver at +113.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+14.0%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+3.2%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 97.9% and approximately 98.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.64% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

TimesSquare Capital Management, LLC 1.27%
T. Rowe Price Investment Management,Inc. 1.18%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
STVN generates approximately $290 of gross profit, $161 of operating income, and $19 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: 26.07%

Quantitative Style Profile

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